Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye steak or deli roast beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Assembly
- 4 large bell peppers, halved and seeds removed
- 8 slices provolone cheese, cut into quarters
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the stuffed bell peppers.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, until they soften and develop sweetness.
- Add Garlic and Meat: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute to release its aroma. Then add the thinly sliced ribeye steak or deli roast beef and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the meat is heated through and flavors meld together.
- Season Mixture: Season the filling with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Prepare Bell Peppers: Place the halved and seeded large bell peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
- Stuff Peppers: Fill each bell pepper half evenly with the steak and pepper mixture, then top each with a quarter slice of provolone cheese.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm as a flavorful and satisfying appetizer or snack.
Notes
- You can prepare the steak and vegetable filling ahead of time and assemble the peppers just before baking to save time.
- Use a variety of colorful bell peppers for an attractive presentation.
- For a spicy kick, add a dash of hot sauce or sprinkle red pepper flakes into the filling mixture.
