This recipe includes the best parts of a stir-fry bowl, but inside of a grilled bell pepper! Fresh vegetables sauteed quickly, mixed with your favorite protein, then placed into a perfectly cooked bell pepper and topped with a light drizzle of unagi sauce. It doesn't really need a side dish, but you could serve it with Chinese-style sticky rice or fried rice, or it would go well with your favorite wonton soup.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 medium yellow bell peppers
1 pound beef skirt steak, cut into thin strips
ground black pepper to taste
1 small sweet onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, diced
2 cups chopped bok choy
1 cup shredded carrots
1 teaspoon unagi (eel) sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Oil the peppers lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place in the hot skillet, turning frequently to just blister the skins and begin to brown them on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove peppers to a cutting board. Turn off heat.
  • Remove the top of one pepper, cutting as close to the stem as possible to save as much of the pepper as possible. Carefully removed the inside seeds and membrane. Do not puncture the pepper! Repeat with remaining peppers. Place peppers on a baking sheet.
  • Bake peppers in the preheated oven until tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining tablespoon oil in the same large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add steak and season with pepper. Cook until just done and pink has disappeared, about 5 minutes. Remove steak to a bowl and set aside.
  • Add onion and garlic to the skillet, with more oil if needed. Cook and stir until onions are just translucent, about 5 minutes. Add bok choy and carrots. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes; remove from heat. The bok choy will overcook quickly and you want it to still have some texture to it.
  • Combine steak and vegetables; stir in unagi sauce. Fill peppers with as much filling as possible, using the back of a spoon to pack down if necessary. To serve, place each pepper on its own plate.

Okay, I was looking up on Zaar the other day for a stuffed pepper recipe, and I just could not find anything that I was looking for. So I decided to create my own with all of the Asian ingredients that I had just gotten from the store that day. The turn out was great, and it was still a very healthy, weight smart dish. ENJOY!!

Yield 3 peppers

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large yellow bell peppers or 3 large red bell peppers
3/4 cup beef broth
1/2 cup white rice (I like basmati)
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms (shitaki, crimini, or portobella, something with flavor!)
1 lb beef, in 1/2 inch wide by 2 inch long stripes
2 -3 tablespoons char siu sauce
1 -2 tablespoon honey
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the tops off of the peppers clean out the insides, set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the beef broth up to a boil, add the rice, reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the broth is gone, set aside.
  • In a large wok, heat a teaspoons of oil over medium-high heat then add the onion, mushrooms, and beef** to the wok and stir fry until browned, remove from the heat.
  • Add the char siu, honey, salt and pepper, and the rice; stir to combined and then stuff the peppers with the mixture.
  • Place the peppers in your crockpot, pour about 1 tablespoon more of the beef broth over each pepper, and cook on low heat for 5-6 hours, but no more then that!
  • I believe you could also finish these in the oven!
  • **You can use what ever beef you have on hand, even ground beef.
  • When I made this I just used beef round and sliced it 1/2-inch by 2-inches and it worked great,.
