20 min

6 servings

Calling all picky eaters! This recipe is a hit with kids because it tastes just like a famous Philly Cheesesteak and, most importantly, is covered in melty cheese. There might not be any bread, but you’re not missing out on flavour! Bonus: you’re servin’ up extra veggies, go you!

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 1⁄2 lbs (675 g) thinly sliced beef strips
  • 1 pkg Philly-Style Cheesesteak Seasoning
  • 1⁄4 cup water
  • 3 bell peppers
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese

Preparation

  1. In Sauté Pan or Wok, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook until soft, 5 min. Add beef, seasoning, and water. Cook, stirring often and scraping up brown bits from the wok, until meat is cooked through and sauce is gravy-like, about 3–4 min.
  2. Meanwhile, slice peppers in half, lengthwise. Remove stems, pith, and seeds.
  3. Using a spoon, stuff pepper halves with mushroom and beef mixture. Press down and pack peppers. (They will be full!) Top with cheese.
  4. In bottom of Multipurpose Steamer, arrange four pepper halves. Top with tray. Place remaining two peppers halves on top of tray. Cover with lid. (It’s okay if the peppers are loosely covered.) Microwave on high until cheese is melted and peppers are tender-crisp, 5 min.
  5. To serve, carefully remove peppers using tongs.
