1. Step 1

   Start by setting your Instant Pot® to the 'Sauté' function.

2. Step 2

   Drizzle in some olive oil and add a pat of butter for that rich flavor.

3. Step 3

   Toss in your sliced mushrooms and diced onion, letting them sauté for about five minutes until they soften and release their delicious aroma.

4. Step 4

   Just when you think it’s perfect, add in the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds to infuse that garlicky goodness.

5. Step 5

   Once done, transfer this savory mixture to a bowl and set it aside.

6. Step 6

   Next, in the same pot, add your thinly sliced sirloin steak along with Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and a sprinkle of black pepper.

7. Step 7

   Sauté this for about five minutes until the steak is beautifully browned and full of flavor.

8. Step 8

   Once it’s ready, combine this sirloin mixture with the mushroom blend in the bowl, creating a hearty filling that’s sure to impress.

    Clean the pressure cooker insert and pour in half a cup of water.

11. Step 11

    Place a steamer rack inside the pot to elevate those stuffed peppers.

12. Step 12

    Take your halved green bell peppers and lay a slice of provolone cheese at the bottom of each half.

13. Step 13

    Fill them generously with the sirloin and mushroom mixture, then cover each pepper with aluminum foil to keep all those flavors locked in.

    Arrange the stuffed peppers on the steamer rack, ready for their flavorful journey.

15. Step 15

    Close and lock the lid of your Instant Pot®.

16. Step 16

    Set it to high pressure according to the manufacturer’s instructions and set the timer for 25 minutes.

17. Step 17

    As the magic happens, allow about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up, filling your kitchen with anticipation.

    This step is crucial for that perfect cheesy finish.
