Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pickle:
   • Wash the pickle thoroughly and pat it dry.
   • Slice the pickle halfway down its length, creating a pocket for the filling. Be careful not to cut through the bottom.
2. Prepare the Cheesesteak Filling:
   • In a skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
   • Add thinly sliced beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder.
   • Push the cooked beef to one side of the skillet and add another tablespoon of olive oil.
   • Add sliced bell peppers and onions to the empty side of the skillet and sauté until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
   • Mix the cooked beef, bell peppers, and onions together in the skillet.
3. Fill the Pickle:
   • Carefully stuff the pickle with the cooked cheesesteak mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.
   • Tear the slices of provolone cheese into smaller pieces and stuff them into the pickle as well.
4. Melt the Cheese:
   • If you’d like a melty, gooey texture, place the stuffed pickle in a microwave-safe dish or on a baking sheet.
   • Microwave or bake just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Serve:
   • Carefully transfer the stuffed pickle onto a plate.
   • Let it cool for a minute or two before slicing it into manageable portions.
6. Optional Garnish:
   • Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor.
