Ingredients
- 2 pounds rib-eye steak (mostly frozen, thinly sliced (see note #1))
- 1/4 cup + 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 large yellow onion (sliced thin into half moons)
- 3 large bell peppers (color of choice, sliced in half, seeds/stem/white membrane removed.)
- 1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated provolone cheese
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley to garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together steak marinade: 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tbsp, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place thinly sliced rib-eye in a bag or container, pour the marinade over the top, mix to coat, and place in refrigerator to marinate for 4 hours.
- Once steak is done marinating, preheat oven to 400 F.
- In a oven safe baking dish, place the halved bell peppers in the dish, drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil, and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Cover with foil and allow to bake for 20 minutes to soften the peppers.
- While the peppers bake, in a cast iron skillet over medium heat, add 2 tbsp olive oil. Once warm, add in the sliced onion and sliced green bell pepper. Sauté the onions and peppers for 15-20 minutes, until they begin to brown and lightly caramelize. Add in the garlic and sauté an additional minute. Carefully add to a large mixing bowl.
- Using the same skillet, raise the heat to medium/high, in batches, use tongs to remove the steak from the marinade and add to the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes, until it's barely pink in the middle of the strips, then remove and add to the bowl with the onions. Do not overcrowd the steak in the skillet or it will only steam and not char.
- Once all the steak is cooked, add 1 cup of the shredded provolone cheese to the mixing bowl with the steak and onions, and toss to combine. Taste mixture and adjust kosher salt if necessary, you can also add in the optional red pepper flakes at this time.
- Using a spoon, spoon the cheesesteak mixture into the hollow bell peppers and top with the last 1/2 cup of shredded provolone cheese. Place in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. You may also use the broil feature. Remove from oven, top with extra red pepper flakes and freshly chopped parsley. Serve.

Notes
- Having the meat mostly frozen helps you to thinly slice the meat. If your steak is fresh, freeze it for about 2 hours prior to slicing. Use a very sharp knife as well.
- You can substitute top sirloin for the rib-eye steak or flank steak.
- Store in the fridge to enjoy through the week. To warm up: you can heat in the microwave for 2 minutes on high. You can also place them back in the oven at 350F and cook for about 20 minutes or until heated through.
- You can freeze the stuffed peppers and reheat them for enjoyment later. Thaw overnight in the fridge then reheat following the directions above.
