Ingredients:

  • 4 large bell peppers (various colours - red, yellow, orange, green) (Approximately 800g total)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (15 ml)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lb (450g) thinly sliced steak (ribeye or sirloin recommended)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (15ml)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced (Approx. 150g)
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced (Approx. 150g)
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced (Approx. 150g)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (Approx. 6g)
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (5ml)
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano (2.5ml)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional) (1.25ml)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese (100g) (or Cheez Whiz if you’re going full Philly!)
  • Optional: Sliced pickled jalapeños, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Halve the bell peppers lengthwise, remove seeds and membranes. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and place cut-side up in the baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and peppers and sauté until softened and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Add garlic during the last minute of cooking, sauté until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, over high heat, cook the steak in batches (to avoid overcrowding the pan) until browned and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Season with salt and pepper. Add Worcestershire sauce, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the steak during the last minute of cooking.
  4. Add the sautéed vegetables back to the skillet with the steak. Toss to combine.
  5. Spoon the cheesesteak filling evenly into the prepared bell pepper halves.
  6. Sprinkle shredded provolone cheese (or dollop Cheez Whiz) over the filling in each pepper.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the peppers are tender.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with sliced pickled jalapeños, if desired.
