Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Large skillet
  • Cutting board
  • Chef’s knife
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers, any color about 2 lbs / 908 g
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 15 ml
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced about 4 oz / 113 g
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced about 6 oz / 170 g
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced 227 g
  • 1 ½ pounds thinly sliced ribeye steak 680 g
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder 3 g
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder 3 g
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 slices provolone cheese about 8 oz / 227 g

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Halve the 4 large bell peppers lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes.
  • Place the bell pepper halves in a baking dish, cut-side up, and bake for 10 minutes to soften.
  • While the peppers are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sliced onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak to the skillet and cook until browned, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  • Season the steak and vegetables with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat, and drain any excess liquid.
  • Take the partially cooked bell peppers out of the oven and fill each with the steak and vegetable mixture.
  • Top each stuffed pepper with a slice of provolone cheese.
  • Return the stuffed peppers to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve hot with your favorite keto-friendly sides.

Notes

For an even lower carb count, you can omit the onion and mushrooms.
If you don't have ribeye, thinly sliced sirloin works well too.
Feel free to swap provolone cheese with another melty cheese like mozzarella or Monterey Jack if desired.
These stuffed peppers are perfect for meal prep and can be refrigerated and reheated throughout the week.
