Ingredients
Scale
2 medium zucchini
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound thinly sliced sirloin steak
1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup shredded provolone cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and some of the flesh to create a boat shape, leaving about a 1/4-inch border.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak, onion, and bell pepper.
Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the steak is browned and the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Spoon the steak and vegetable mixture evenly into the zucchini boats.
Top with provolone and mozzarella cheese.
Place the stuffed zucchini on a baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
You can substitute other types of steak like ribeye for a richer flavor.
Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or jalapeños.
For extra flavor, a sprinkle of garlic powder can be added to the filling.
