A hearty and satisfying keto-friendly twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak, stuffed inside vibrant bell peppers for a low-carb, flavorful meal perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color, green or red recommended)
  • 1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 oz provolone cheese, sliced or shredded
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Optional toppings: chopped fresh parsley or chives, drizzle of sugar-free hot sauce or mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash the bell peppers, slice off the tops, and carefully remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside the tops if desired.
  2. If ribeye is not thinly sliced, freeze for 15-20 minutes to firm up, then slice thinly against the grain about 1/8 inch thick. Toss steak slices with smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly for 10-12 minutes until golden and sweet. Add minced garlic in the last 2 minutes.
  4. Push onions to the side, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, increase heat to medium-high. Add seasoned steak slices in a single layer (in batches if needed). Cook 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not overcooked. Stir steak and onions together, then remove from heat.
  5. Spoon steak and onion mixture evenly into each hollowed pepper. Top each with provolone slices or shredded cheese.
  6. Place stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and peppers are tender but firm.
  7. Let peppers rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives and drizzle sugar-free hot sauce if desired.

Notes

Use thinly sliced steak for tenderness. Caramelize onions slowly for sweetness. Avoid overbaking peppers to keep them firm. Cheese alternatives like sharp cheddar or mozzarella work well. Pre-sliced deli steak can be used for convenience. Peppers can be prepped ahead and baked before serving. For dairy-free, substitute provolone with plant-based cheese and steak with mushrooms or tempeh for vegan option.
