Description
Golden, buttery garlic bread stuffed with juicy thin-sliced ribeye, caramelized onions and peppers, and a melty duo of provolone and mozzarella. It’s a cozy cheesesteak baked into a shareable loaf.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large French bread loaf
- 1 lb ribeye steak, very thinly sliced
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 1 cup low-moisture mozzarella, shredded
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms with a pinch of salt until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Increase heat to medium high. Sear the thinly sliced ribeye in batches for 1 to 2 minutes, just until browned. Season with salt and black pepper. Return vegetables to the pan and toss to combine, then remove from heat.
- Split the French bread loaf lengthwise and hollow out some of the soft interior to create space for filling.
- Stir softened butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley until evenly combined.
- Line the bottom half of the loaf with provolone slices. Spoon the steak and vegetable mixture evenly over the cheese, then top with shredded mozzarella. Cap with the top half of the loaf.
- Brush the entire exterior with the garlic parsley butter, placing any extra on top for a golden finish.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is lightly crisp.
- Rest 2 to 3 minutes, then slice into thick pieces. Serve hot.
Notes
- For ultra thin slices, partially freeze the steak for 15 to 20 minutes before cutting.
- Use a sturdy Italian or French loaf so the crust stays crisp and the interior holds the filling.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for gentle heat.
- To reheat, wrap slices in foil and warm at 350°F until the cheese is melty again.
