Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers Recipe

Mix up your weeknight dinners with this delicious recipe that combines stuffed peppers and Philly Cheesesteaks. Super simple and tasty, roasted peppers are filled with juicy steak, mushrooms, onions, and topped with provolone cheese for one tasty bite.

Ready in about 40 minutes, they are great for a weeknight dinner. When I’m short on time but still want to chow down on stuffed peppers, these air fryer stuffed peppers are my go-to option.

Tips for Beginners

  • Slice the peppers in half lengthwise. This makes them easier to stuff and eat.
  • Leftover filling. Depending on the size of your peppers, you may have leftover filling. Use it on a salad or another recipe, or freeze it for later use.
  • I prefer sirloin steak. It cooks quickly and has great flavor. Flank or skirt steak will also work well.
  • Place the steak in the freezer. I put the steak in the freezer for 10 minutes, which makes it easier to cut thinly and evenly.

How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers Step by Step

Prep the oven and peppers: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a 9×13 casserole dish lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Slice 3 peppers lengthwise, remove the seeds and ribs, place them in the dish, and bake, uncovered, cut side up for 15 minutes.

Prepare the filling: Heat a large skillet over the stove over medium-high heat and let it warm for a few minutes.

Add 1 tbsp of butter, and once melted, add 1 sliced onion and 8 oz. sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the juices from the mushrooms release. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and stir until fragrant. This usually takes about 30 seconds. Remove the onion/mushrooms mixture from the pan and set aside.

Season 1 lb. sirloin steak with ½ tsp salt. Place the steak in the hot pan and sprinkle with 1 tsp steak seasoning. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the onion/mushroom mixture back into the pan and combine.

Stuff the peppers: Place 1 piece of provolone cheese over each pepper, pushing it down so it takes the shape of the pepper.

Generously fill each pepper with the steak filling.

Place another slice of cheese over each filled pepper. Place the peppers under the broiler for about 3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely so the peppers don’t burn.

Garnish and serve: Garnish the peppers with parsley and serve. Enjoy!

How to Store

If you want to get a head start, you can make the filling up to 3 days in advance and keep it in the fridge.

If you have leftovers, they will keep well for 3–4 days covered in the fridge and you can reheat them in the oven at 275°F until cooked through.

Serving Suggestions

These Philly cheesesteak stuffed peppers are a great, easy weeknight meal and work well with pretty much any side. I like to pair them with crispy air fryer sweet potato fries or a side of garlic rice. A slice of sweet and cinnamon-y churro cheesecake is always perfect for dessert.

The filling is amazing. My peppers were a bit thick so I should have baked them a little longer. Other than that, I wouldn’t change a thing. Delicious!!

The key is to season the steak. I’ve made it before but couldn’t find the recipe. What a difference! Yum!
