Philly Cheese Steak Stuffed Peppers Recipe - Family Fresh Meals

Anyone who’s ever lived in Philadelphia, or lived near Philadelphia, or even been to Philadelphia for the weekend, has heard about the classic Philly cheesesteak. In case you’re not in any of those groups, I’ll explain: it’s a hot roast beef sandwich topped with grilled onions and smothered in melted provolone cheese. (Some recipes use other kinds of cheese, but to make it right, it has to be provolone.)

This combo tastes just as good as it sounds…and is just as not-so-good for you. It’s more a guilty pleasure than something you’d eat every day.

Philly Cheese Steak Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients:

4 large green bell peppers
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup sweet onion, diced
3 cloves garlic minced
1 (4 oz) package mushrooms, diced
1 lb thinly sliced roast beef
16 slices provolone cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Slice bell peppers in half lengthwise, remove ribs and seeds. ( You should have 8 halves) Rub the inside of each pepper with 1/4 TB of oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

2. Over a medium heat melt butter. Saute onions and mushroom are nice and caramelized. About 5-7 minutes. During the last minute, stir in garlic.  Slice roast beef into thin strips and add to the onion/mushroom mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Allow to cook 2-3 minutes more. Remove from heat.

  1. Ummm… while these look good and I will probably try – I’m from Philly and a Philly Cheesesteak is not a roast beef sandwich – it’s a steak sandwich made with prime rib- eye steak shaved and fried.
