PHILLY CHEESE STEAK-STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place bell peppers cut-side up on a baking sheet.
• Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir steak until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from skillet.
• Add onion, mushrooms, olive oil, garlic, and steak seasoning to the skillet. Cook and stir until onions and mushrooms are nice and tender, about 5 minutes. Return the steak to the skillet and cook for 3 to 5 minutes more.
• Spoon steak mixture into the bell pepper halves until full. Top with provolone cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese on top is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool.

PHILLY CHEESE STEAK

Steps:

• Place steak in freezer for 30 to 45 minutes; this makes it easier to slice the meat. Remove the meat from the freezer and slice very thinly.
• Heat griddle or grill pan over high heat. Brush steak slices with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 45 to 60 seconds per side.
• Place several slices of the meat on the bottom half of the roll, spoon some of the cheese sauce over the meat, and top with the mushrooms, onions, and peppers.
• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the warm milk, and cook, whisking constantly until thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and whisk in the provolone and Parmesan until combined; season with the salt and pepper.
• Heat oil and butter in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are golden brown. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook slowly until golden brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally, approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
• Heat the oil in medium saute pan over high heat. Add the peppers and cook until soft. Season with salt and pepper.

GARLICKY PHILLY CHEESESTEAK STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler to high and place the rack approximately 6" below the broiler.
• Place prepared peppers, cut side down on a microwave safe plate and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Flip pepper halves over, season with a pinch of Dash of Desperation and cook for an additional 1 minute. Peppers should be tender, but still hold their shape. Flip the peppers over on the plate (to allow the steam to finish cooking them) and set aside. **NOTE** When you go to stuff the peppers in the next step, if they are not soft enough for you, you can cook for an additional 45 seconds to 1 min in the microwave.
• Spray large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and heat over high heat.
• Add the thinly sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 4 minutes until slightly browned. Place mushrooms in a bowl and set aside to keep warm.
• Place the pan back on the stove over high heat. When super hot, add the beef in a single layer, sprinkle with the Garlic and Spring Onion Seasoning and sauté for 1 minute, until steak is brown (or longer if you like your steak more done).
• Add the mushrooms back to the pan and stir to incorporate.
• Divide the beef and mushroom mixture up equally and stuff into the pepper halves.
• Sprinkle each pepper with an equal portion of cheese.
• Place under the broiler for approximately 1 minute until cheese melts and is bubbly.
• Serve immediately.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK

Steps:

• Trim away and discard the long piece of fat running down the side of the steaks. Cut each steak in half and put on a baking tray, then transfer to the freezer and freeze for 40 mins.
• Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan or casserole dish set over a medium heat. Add the onion and peppers along with a good pinch of salt and fry for 20 mins, or until the onions are golden and sticky. Add the vinegar and cook for a further 5 mins. Season to taste.
• Using a sharp knife, slice the steak as thinly as possible and pile the slices into four portions. Heat a skillet over a high heat until almost smoking. Put one portion of the steak slices in the pan in a pile that's roughly the length of your rolls. Fry for 3 mins over a high heat until some of the steak is cooked through, with pink bits remaining. Pile a quarter of the onion mixture on top, as well as a quarter each of the cheese slices and the mozzarella. Continue to cook undisturbed over a medium heat for 5-10 mins until the meat is brown and crisp around the edge and the cheeses have melted. Split one of the rolls open and carefully scoop the meat and cheese mixture into it. Repeat with the remaining meat, onions, cheese and rolls.
