Philly cheesesteaks are fantastic, with juicy steak pieces topped with cheese, and today I stuffed all of the ingredients into a bell pepper. Today, I am sharing with you my recipe for Air Fryer Philadelphia Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers.
I have lived in Philly for a few years, and there is nothing better than a homemade Philly Cheesesteak. There are a few things that make a Philly Cheesesteak a Philly Cheesesteak.
What is a Philly Cheesesteak?
A traditional Philly cheesesteak is made by sliced rib-eye steak, sauteed and topped with melted cheese. In Philly, they use Cheez Whiz to my kid’s display, but today I supposed shredded cheese. You can top it with anything. The standard toppings are fried onions, mushrooms, and hot peppers.
What Cut of Meat Should You Use?
The traditional choice is rib eye steak, but you can use any lean cut of meat. Some alternatives are flank, skirt steak, or top sirloin. They all work well in this recipe.
What Kind of Cheese Should I Use?
As mentioned above, the traditional cheese you will find in Philly cheesesteaks is Cheez Whiz, so if you want an authentic taste, go with that. Otherwise, you can use shredded mozzarella or provolone.
