Cheesesteak-Stuffed Peppers

As a park ranger, I've cooked a lot of meals outdoors. I often assemble a steak and potato foil pack and toss it into my backpack with some ice. Then when I set up camp, it's easy to cook over a campfire. If I'm at home, I use my grill, and the food is just as good.

Ingreadient

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 large sweet onion, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 1 beef top sirloin steak (1 pound), thinly sliced
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
  • 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese, divided
  • 4 large green peppers

Direction

    1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook and stir until crisp-tender, 6-8 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook 1 minute longer. Transfer to a large bowl; set aside.
    2. In the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium high heat. Add steak, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook and stir until no longer pink, 4-5 minutes. Stir in cream cheese, 1-1/2 cups pepper jack cheese and onion mixture just until cheeses are melted. Remove from heat.
    3. Cut and discard tops from peppers; remove seeds. Fill with steak mixture. Place trivet insert and 1 cup water in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Set peppers on trivet. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 10 minutes. Quick-release pressure. Sprinkle peppers with remaining 1/2 cup pepper jack cheese; cover and let stand until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
