Preheat oven to 400°F. Place pepper halves cut-side up in a baking dish. Lightly oil and season them. Bake for 10–12 minutes to soften slightly.
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sliced green bell pepper first, and cook until softened with some color.
Add mushrooms to the skillet and cook until all the moisture evaporates. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Remove the vegetables from heat and set aside.
Add the shaved steak to the pan on medium heat. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until just done, about 2-3 minutes. Splash in Worcestershire sauce, mix everything together, and remove from heat.
Remove the peppers from the oven and pat them dry. Fill each pepper generously with the steak and vegetable mixture. Top with provolone cheese.
Broil the stuffed peppers for 2-4 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Use any color of bell peppers based on your preference or availability.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the steak while cooking.
Make sure to pat the peppers dry after baking to prevent them from becoming watery.
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes, you can substitute provolone with mozzarella, cheddar, or any cheese that melts well.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling and bake the peppers ahead of time. When ready to serve, assemble and broil them to melt the cheese.
Can I use ground beef instead of shaved steak?
Yes, ground beef can be used as a substitute, but the texture and flavor will differ slightly.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Are these stuffed peppers keto-friendly?
Yes, this recipe is low-carb and suitable for a keto diet.
