Keto Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers Recipe

Keto Philly cheesesteak stuffed peppers bring all the bold, beefy flavor of a classic Philly cheesesteak without the bread or the carbs. Bell pepper halves replace the hoagie roll, stuffed with seasoned ribeye, sauteed onions, mushrooms, and gooey provolone cheese. Each serving contains just 10g net carbs and 41g of protein, making this a satisfying low-carb dinner the whole family will love.

Ingredients

• 4 large bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
• 500g ribeye steak, thinly sliced (or shaved beef)
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 200g cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 8 slices provolone cheese (about 160g)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place pepper halves cut-side up in a baking dish.
2. Brush peppers with olive oil and bake for 15 minutes to soften slightly.
3. Meanwhile, heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add sliced onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to caramelize.
5. Add mushrooms and cook for another 4 minutes until moisture has evaporated.
6. Add sliced ribeye to the pan. Season with garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
7. Cook steak for 3-4 minutes, breaking it apart, until just cooked through.
8. Remove peppers from oven. Fill each half generously with the steak mixture.
9. Top each stuffed pepper with 1 slice of provolone cheese.
10. Return to oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Serve hot immediately.

Tips & Variations

• Freeze the steak for 20 minutes before slicing; it firms up and slices much thinner.
• Swap provolone for white American cheese or mozzarella for a different melt profile.
• Add 1 tbsp cream cheese to the steak mixture before stuffing for extra richness.
• For meal prep, make the steak filling ahead; stuff and bake the peppers fresh.
• Use mini bell peppers for party-sized appetizer portions at just 2g net carbs each.
