Ingredients:

• 4 large bell peppers (any color of your choice)
• 1 pound thinly sliced beefsteak (ribeye or sirloin works well)
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
• 8 slices provolone cheese
• Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, hot sauce

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Peppers:
   • Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
   • If you want the peppers to stand upright better, you can slice a tiny portion off the bottom to make it level, ensuring you don’t create a hole.
3. Cook the Filling:
   • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat.
   • Add the thinly sliced beefsteak to the skillet and cook until it’s no longer pink. Remove the steak and set it aside.
   • In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, then toss in the sliced onions, mushrooms (if using), and minced garlic. Sauté until they’re soft and translucent.
   • Return the cooked beef to the skillet, mixing it with the onions and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined.
4. Assemble the Stuffed Peppers:
   • Place a slice of provolone cheese at the bottom of each hollowed-out bell pepper.
   • Evenly distribute the beef and onion mixture into each pepper, pressing down gently to pack the mixture.
   • Top each pepper with another slice of provolone cheese.
5. Bake:
   • Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
   • For a golden cheese top, remove the foil in the last 5 minutes and broil briefly until bubbly and slightly browned.
6. Serve:
   • Once baked, remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and let them sit for a few minutes.
   • Plate and top with optional toppings if desired.
   • Serve hot and enjoy!
