Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the bell pepper halves. Prepare the bell peppers by halving them lengthwise and removing seeds and membranes. Place them cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
- 2Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook quickly until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside, leaving any drippings in the pan.
- 3Add the sliced onion and mushrooms (if using) to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the liquid has slightly reduced.
- 5Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into each bell pepper half in the baking dish. Top each stuffed pepper with two slices of provolone cheese.
- 6Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bell peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ground beef instead of sliced steak?
Yes, you can substitute 1 pound of lean ground beef. Brown it in the skillet, drain any excess fat, then proceed with adding onions and other ingredients as directed.
What other cheeses can I use?
While provolone is traditional, you can also use mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even a cheese sauce like Cheez Whiz for a more authentic 'Philly' experience, though the provolone melts beautifully.
Can I prepare these ahead of time?
You can assemble the stuffed peppers (without baking) up to a day in advance. Cover and refrigerate. When ready to bake, add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time, or until heated through and peppers are tender.
