Directions
- 1
Heat oven to 375°F. On rimmed baking sheet, arrange pepper halves, cut sides down; drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast until peppers are slightly tender, 16 to 20 minutes. Transfer peppers, cut sides up, to 9- by 13-inch broil-safe baking dish. Arrange rack 4 to 6 inches from broiler and heat broiler to high.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet on medium-high. Season steak with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and cook in 2 batches until browned, 1 minute per side; transfer to bowl.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet on medium. Add mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, 3 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, tossing twice, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes; transfer to same bowl.

Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet, then onion, and season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook, covered, stirring occasionally (and lowering heat as necessary), until tender and starting to release liquid, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until caramelized (adding a splash of water if onions stick to pan or are browning too quickly), 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in red wine vinegar, scraping up any browned bits.

Add steak, mushrooms, and any juices to skillet and cook, tossing occasionally, to heat through, about 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, whisk together Worcestershire, Dijon, and 1 tablespoon water. Stir into skillet and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat and fold in cherry peppers and half of parsley. Divide mixture among cooked peppers and top with provolone. Broil until cheese is melted and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve sprinkled with remaining parsley.

About this Recipe
Dreaming of that classic Philly cheesesteak flavor but want a delicious, all-in-one meal that's easy to enjoy at home? These Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers deliver all the iconic taste you crave, reimagined in a fun, comforting package that’s perfect for any night of the week.
This recipe cleverly transforms a beloved sandwich into a hearty, family-friendly dish, packing rich, thinly sliced sirloin steak, savory mushrooms, and caramelized onions directly into tender bell peppers. It’s the perfect way to enjoy those authentic, bold flavors without the messy roll, offering a satisfying meal that brings comfort and robust taste to your table.
You'll be greeted by tender, thinly sliced sirloin steak, expertly seasoned and intertwined with sweet, caramelized onions and earthy cremini mushrooms. This savory filling is nestled within vibrant, roasted bell peppers, creating a delightful contrast of textures. The generous layer of provolone cheese on top melts into a gooey, savory blanket, while the bright notes of red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and tangy pickled cherry peppers cut through the richness, creating a wonderfully balanced and deeply satisfying experience. Each bite offers that distinct Philly cheesesteak essence, elevated by the sweetness of the roasted peppers.
Feel free to experiment with different colored bell peppers—red, yellow, or orange all work beautifully and add a pop of color. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of pickled cherry peppers. While provolone is the classic choice here, a different melting cheese like Monterey Jack or a sharp white cheddar could offer a unique twist. For an extra herbal note, consider sprinkling in a few fresh thyme leaves along with the parsley.
These Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers make a fantastic weeknight dinner or a delightful option for a casual gathering. Serve them hot straight from the oven for a truly comforting and complete meal.
