Cheesesteaks - a Healthy Way

I love a red carpet night. It's tradition while watching this (Golden Globes) red carpet I make my homemade lasagna. Then, during the Golden Globes I enjoy a glass or two (whatever....probably 3) of Cabernet, a big slice of lasagna and garlic bread.  I'm not sure why, but cold weather+comfort food+red carpet+red wine+awards shows=a great night for me.

But.....
Not tonight. My tradition is broke. Well, it's all going on except the part about the lasagna [insert sad face]. On the other hand...I made a new dish [insert happy face]. With CHEESE. WINNING! It's a healthy version on one of my very, very favorite sandwiches from my favorite city in the USA. I've been looking for 21 Day Fix approved recipes and this is what I came up with. 

Healthy Philly Cheesesteak

2 large green bell peppers
2 T olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
steak, thinly sliced
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 slices Provolone cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray an 8x8 baking dish, set aside. (I used a loaf pan)
2. Bring a pot of water to a boil.
3. Slice green peppers in half, remove seeds and ribs and place them int he boiling water for 3-5 minutes until they are tender. Remove peppers from the water (be careful!!) Place cut side down on a towel and let water drain. (YES, DRAIN THEM) 
   
4. In a 12" skillet, heat olive oil on medium. Add garlic, onion, red bell pepper, & pepper. Saute 4-5 minutes until onions are translucent.
5. Add steak slices and Worcestershire sauce and cook until meat is cooked to your liking.
   
6. Place green peppers open side up in your baking dish. Fill each pepper with 1/2 slice of Provolone and the with meat mixture until they are overflowing. Top with other 1/2 of the cheese.
   
7. Bake in oven for 10 minutes until cheese is golden brown. 
   
8. EAT

Enjoy! Make it your own if you like mushrooms, add them.  I didn't add any greek yogurt  (healthy) or sour cream (oh yes) but that would totally top it off. 

Hope you like the healthy version of the Philly Cheesesteak! 

Thank you for reading!
