Why I was inspired to make this recipe?

Stuffed peppers are common in many areas of the world, from Hong Kong to the Eastern Mediterranean; they all have their own variations of the dish.

This was inspired by my other stuffed peppers recipe, where I use sliced ground turkey. I wanted to make it a little fancier in flavor, so I kicked it up with boneless short ribs. I found them on sale and just had to get them. They are one of my husband's favorite cuts of meat.

What ingredients are in Short Ribs Stuffed Peppers Recipe?

Below is the list of ingredients I used for this recipe.

  • shredded boneless short ribs
  • bell peppers yellow halved and cleaned
  • olive oil (Affiliate Link)
  • finely chopped onion
  • shredded cauliflower
  • shredded cabbage red
  • sugar-free tomato sauce (Affiliate Link)
  • granulated garlic
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • dried parsley
  • ½ cup of shredded mozzarella or dairy-free mozzarella

See the recipe card for quantities. Below is an image of the ingredients I used.

How to make this Short Ribs Stuffed Peppers Recipe?

Step 1: Prep the ingredients

Slice short ribs thin when frozen. Set aside and defrost.

Shred the cauliflower. Place part of the cauliflower head into the food processor and shred it, or use a blade and pulse it until it creates small pieces.

Shred a quarter of the red cabbage and measure out ½ cup.

Chop the ½ of the onion into small pieces and set aside.

Step 2: Prebake the Bell Peppers

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Add a ¼ cup of water to a small baking dish that will fit four halves of bell peppers.

Cut and remove the stem and inside of the bell peppers.

Add pepper halves to the dish and steam in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 3: Cook the filling

While peppers are cooking in the oven, add oil in skillet—heat pan and oil.

Sauté onions for 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat and stir with a wooden spoon.

Add shredded cauliflower and cabbage for 2 minutes over medium heat. Stir to combine in the pan.

Add shredded boneless short ribs for 1-2 minutes over medium heat. Stir to combine in the skillet.

Add the tomato sauce (Affiliate Link), parsley, and salt pepper, and stir to combine in the skillet.

Then, add parsley, black pepper, and Himalayan salt to the skillet and mix into the filling—Cook for 2 minutes.

Step 4: Fill the peppers

Remove the skillet from heat and let sit for three to five minutes.

Divide the mixture into four sections. Add each section to the cut and cleaned peppers with a spoon.

Then, add shredded cheese or dairy-free cheese to the top of the peppers. This step is optional.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 15-20 minutes in the oven until the cheese meals or the peppers look softened. If the peppers seem a little too hard, you can add a piece of aluminum foil to the top to help them steam more while cooking.

Recipe Hint or Tips:

Substitutions You Can Use

Below are some substitutions you may want to make if you want to do this recipe a little differently.

  • Short Ribs - if you do not have boneless short ribs, you can use a thin chip steak.
  • Cauliflower - if you do not like cauliflower, you can use gluten-free or regular breadcrumbs in place it.
  • Vegetarian - if you want to make it vegetarian, swap out the short ribs for seitan instead.
  • Garlic - if you would prefer fresh garlic, feel free to replace the granulated garlic.
  • Peppers - you can replace the orange peppers with the green peppers or red bell peppers.
  • Mozzarella Cheese - You can replace the mozzarella cheese with pepper jack cheese as well.

Variations

Things I could add to the recipe.

  • Spicy - add chili pepper flakes when you heat the oil in the skillet.
  • Deluxe - add fresh avocado cubes to the top after it sits but before serving.
  • Kid-friendly - add crushed potato chips to the top before using.

Equipment Used for this Recipe

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. This recipe uses a nonstick 9-inch skillet and a 9 x 13 glass baking dish.

Storage

You can easily create these ingredients ahead of time and then when you are ready to cook, you can easily go and make the dish.

These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing.

Top tip

If you find that after the peppers bake initially, they need more time, you can add a piece of foil loosely to the top of them when cooking the stuffed peppers to help steam the peppers some more. The cheese may stick to the foil. You can pull it off before allowing it to cool.
