Air Fryer Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
Description
Enjoy all the flavor of a classic Philly cheesesteak in a juicy, low-carb form — steak, onions, and melted cheese stuffed into tender air-fried bell peppers, ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound shaved steak, or thinly sliced steak
- ½ cup onion, diced
- 1 large bell pepper, halved and seeded
- 4 teaspoons olive oil, for the peppers
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or provolone
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, then stir in the steak and cook until browned.
- While the steak cooks, halve the bell pepper and remove the seeds. Rub olive oil over the inside and outside of each half.
- Place the peppers cut-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 5 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Fill the roasted peppers with the steak and onion mixture and top generously with cheese.
- Return to the air fryer at 400°F for 3–5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Plate and serve hot.
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
Ribeye or sirloin both work well — the key is a thin cut. Drain any excess liquid from the filling before stuffing to keep the peppers from getting soggy. For a party appetizer, use halved mini sweet peppers instead of full bell peppers.
