A quick and easy recipe featuring bell peppers stuffed with tender ribeye steak, sautéed veggies, and a gooey blend of provolone and cheddar cheese. Perfect for a comforting yet balanced weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color; red or green recommended)
  • 12 ounces thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced (yellow onion preferred)
  • 1 small green bell pepper, diced (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 slices provolone cheese (or substitute mozzarella)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice off tops of bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak, season with salt, pepper, and half the Italian seasoning. Sauté 3-4 minutes until browned but tender. Remove meat and set aside.
  3. Add remaining olive oil to skillet. Cook onion, diced green bell pepper, and garlic for about 5 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
  4. Return steak to skillet with veggies. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and red pepper flakes if using. Cook 2 more minutes to blend flavors. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Spoon meat and veggie mixture evenly into hollowed bell peppers. Place peppers upright on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish.
  6. Top each stuffed pepper with a slice of provolone and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until peppers are tender and cheese is melted and bubbly with golden spots.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow cheese to set.

Notes

Avoid overcooking the steak to keep it tender. If peppers aren’t soft enough after baking, cover loosely with foil and bake an additional 5-7 minutes. Parboiling peppers for 3 minutes before stuffing can speed up softening but may reduce flavor. For dairy-free, substitute cheese with vegan melting cheese. Reheat leftovers gently in the oven to maintain pepper firmness and cheese texture.
