Craving cheesesteak but trying to eat healthier? This gives you the flavors of cheesesteak but in a pepper.
Ingredients:
3 large bell peppers, your preferred color, deseeded and halved
(chop up the tops and set aside)
olive oil
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup carrots, chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
1 lb thin steak (i.e.: flank steak, sirloin steak - any thin steak suggested to be pan seared on the package should work)
worchester sauce, to taste
salt and pepper
shredded or sliced provolone or cheddar cheese
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Place your peppers in a prepared baking dish.
Salt and pepper both sides of the meat and cook for a few minutes on each side in a pan on the stove over medium heat.
Remove from pan and wipe clean.
Add a few tbsp of olive oil to the pan and warm the oil. Add the chopped peppers (from the tops), carrots, and onions. Cook for a few minutes to soften and then add minced garlic. Add a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce then add the cooked meat and a few more splashes of Worcestershire. Add additional salt and pepper to taste. Place a half slice of cheese in the bottom of each pepper, fill with the meat and veggie mixture and then top with another half slice of cheese (or use shredded). Cover with foil and cook for 20-25 minutes. Remove foil and cook a few minutes longer until the cheese melts.
21 day fixers: one half pepper = 1 green, 1 red, and 1 blue
Without cheese 1 pepper = 2/3 red, 2/3 yellow, 1 1/3 green (round as you see fit)
