You’ll thank me for this Keto Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers recipe, I swear you will because it’s hard to make stuffed peppers without rice. Or is it?
I think many would say that the best part of any steak sub is the steak smothered in hot, melted cheese. Who needs the bread anyway? And I’m not gonna gross it up with cauliflower rice either. A craving for the real thing, deserves the real thing! Minus the bread!
I love meals that can be prepared in advance, and these Keto Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers are a perfect dish to make ahead to portion out for low-carb lunches or a quick dinner.

Ingredients:
- 4 green peppers
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 lb shaved beef steak
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 5 slices pepper jack cheese
- salt & pepper
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400F. Cut the tops off the green peppers, and place them in the oven, on a baking sheet to cook for about 10 minutes. Cut around the stem of the green pepper tops (discard those), and chop up the extra green pepper that’s left.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, add salted butter, and once melted, add onions, green peppers, and garlic, cooking for about two minutes.
- Add shaved steak to the pan, then generously salt and pepper the meat. Brown the meat until fully cooked, chopping with your spatula as you go. Add 1 slice of cheese, and mix until melted. Remove from heat, and toss with mayonnaise and dijon mustard.
- Take the green peppers out of the oven when they’re soft, but not too soft to stuff. There should be some juice in the bottom of the shells, don’t dump it, it adds flavor! Optionally, you can add a little extra cheese to the bottom of each shell for extra cheesiness!
- Spoon steak mixture into the green pepper shells, then top each with a slice of cheese.
- Add back into the oven to broil for about 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted to your liking, then serve hot.
- Enjoy!
