Directions

Prep 10 minCook 60 min

1
Halve the bell peppers lengthwise, removing ribs and seeds; set cut sides up on a baking sheet or in a baking dish.
2
Warm the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, mushrooms, and minced garlic; season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply browned and caramelized, 25–30 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F.
4
Thinly slice the raw beef against the grain. Add it to the onion–mushroom mixture and cook, stirring, until just cooked through, 5–10 minutes; taste and adjust salt and pepper.
5
Line each pepper half with one slice of cheddar. Spoon in the beef mixture until slightly mounded, then top each with another slice of cheddar.
6
Bake until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbling and golden, 15–20 minutes. Let rest a few minutes before serving.
