Ingredients
  

  • Green bell peppers, 2 (halved, stems removed)
  • Salt, 1/4 tsp (divided)
  • Black pepper, 1/4 tsp (divided)
  • Yellow onion, 1 (thinly sliced)
  • Butter, 4 Tbsp (divided)
  • Vegetable oil, 1/4 cup (divided)
  • White mushrooms, 8 oz (thinly sliced)
  • Garlic powder, 1 tsp
  • Worcestershire sauce, 1 Tbsp
  • Shaved beef steak, 14 oz (pre-sliced)
  • Provolone cheese, 4 slices (halal certified)

Method
 

  1. Cut bell peppers in half; remove seeds and membranes using a small paring knife.
  2. Brush cut sides with oil, sprinkle 1/8 tsp salt and pepper per pepper half.
  3. Place cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet; roast at 350°F for 25 minutes.
  4. Melt 2 Tbsp butter and 2 Tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add onions and sauté for 10 minutes until translucent; stir in remaining 1/8 tsp salt.
  6. Cook 8 minutes longer until edges are caramelized and golden; adjust heat to prevent burning.
  7. Add mushrooms and garlic powder to pan; cook 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Scrape browned bits into the mixture for extra flavor; reduce heat to medium.
  9. Add shaved beef steak and cook until browned and no pink remains.
  10. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, then remove from heat.
  11. Stuff each roasted pepper half with the beef and vegetable mixture.
  12. Top each with a slice of provolone cheese; return to oven.
  13. Bake an additional 10 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.

Notes

Ensure onions and mushrooms are drained well before stuffing to avoid sogginess.
For a vegan version, substitute beef with grilled portobello mushrooms.
Leftovers freeze well for up to 3 months; thaw and reheat at 325°F for 15–20 minutes.
