Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf French bread (halved lengthwise)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb thinly sliced steak (ribeye or sirloin)
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the French bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder. Brush this mixture generously over the cut sides of the French bread.
- Cook the Steak and Veggies: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak and set aside.
- Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add the bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
- Season and Combine: Season the veggies with salt, pepper, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine, then return the cooked steak to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine everything.
- Assemble the Cheesy Bread: Spoon the steak and veggie mixture evenly over the garlic buttered bread. Sprinkle the mozzarella and provolone cheeses on top.
- Bake: Place the bread in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread edges are golden and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the cheesy bread from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, slice into individual pieces, and serve immediately.
