PHILLY CHEESESTEAK STUFFED PEPPERS – THREE WAYS
I tested the filling for this stuffed pepper recipe three ways with:
- Thinly sliced roast beef
- Sliced steak
- Ground beef (the easiest to eat)
Here are my opinions…
Stuffed peppers with roast beef: Thinly sliced leftover roast beef sautéed with mushrooms and onions was tasty and easy. I liked the texture of the roast beef, but it did get a little tough after cooking in the oven. I’m sure that deli roast beef would be just as tasty in this recipe. This was the fastest version of the three.
Stuffed peppers with sautéed steak: I sliced steak into strips about ¼ inch thick and 2 inches long and browned in a pan. Next, I sautéed mushrooms and onions, added the steak back to the pan and seasoned with.
I stuffed the peppers with cheese and the beef mixture and baked. This tasty version resulted in more substantial pieces of meat in the pepper which was pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately, my kids had a little trouble cutting the meat with their forks.
Stuffed peppers with ground beef: Lastly, I tested ground beef in the peppers. My family liked this version best. I browned the mushrooms and onions. Then, cooked the ground beef, added the mushrooms and onions back, and seasoned the mixture.
Steaming the peppers in the microwave helped soften them and pouring out the accumulated liquid prevented sogginess. I placed one slice of provolone to the bottom of each pepper and stuffed them with the ground beef. The peppers baked for 20 minutes. Then, I topped each with a piece of cheese placed them under the broiler.
As I mentioned, my family preferred this keto Philly cheesesteak stuffed peppers with ground beef; perhaps this version was easier to eat or maybe the fat in the ground beef made them taste better. In any case, this is a no-brainer recipe that’s easy to prepare and doesn’t take much time.
