Instructions for Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

Step 1: Prepare the Bell Peppers

Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Slice the bell peppers’ tops off and remove the seeds and membranes inside. Lightly brush them with olive oil for extra flavor and to prevent drying out. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes until they soften slightly. If you prefer softer peppers, bake for 5-10 minutes.

Step 2: Cook the Filling

While the peppers are baking, heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they soften and release their juices. Stir in the shaved steak and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned and fully cooked. Drain the excess if the steak releases too much fat to prevent sogginess. Mix in cooked rice once the steak is ready, ensuring it absorbs all the flavors.

Step 3: Assemble the Peppers

Remove the peppers from the oven and add a small layer of cheese at the bottom of each one. This creates a cheesy base and helps absorb any extra moisture. Fill each pepper with the cooked steak and mushroom mixture, pressing down gently. Top generously with more cheese to create a gooey, melty finish.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For extra browning, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end. Remove from the oven and let the stuffed peppers rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for a burst of color and freshness.
