Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Vegetables

  • 8 oz thinly sliced ribeye steak
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Bread and Toppings

  • 1 loaf sourdough or French bread
  • 6 oz provolone cheese, sliced
  • 3 tbsp garlic butter (melted butter mixed with minced garlic)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak and Vegetables: Thinly slice the ribeye steak. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions and bell peppers until soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Add the steak slices and cook until just browned, seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Prep the Bread: Slice the loaf of sourdough or French bread lengthwise into top and bottom halves. Generously brush the cut sides with garlic butter to infuse rich flavor during baking.
  3. Assemble the Philly Cheesesteak Cheesy Bread: Evenly layer the cooked steak and vegetable mixture over the bottom half of the bread. Cover the filling with provolone cheese slices. Place the top half of the bread over the filling and press gently to secure everything together.
  4. Bake Until Perfect: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wrap the assembled bread loosely in foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes to let the cheese melt fully and the crust crisp up until golden and bubbly.
  5. Slice and Serve: Allow the cheesy bread to cool for a few minutes to let the cheese set and prevent messiness. Slice into squares or strips for easy serving and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced steak for quick cooking and tender results.
  • Cook steak and veggies in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure good caramelization.
  • Use fresh, sturdy bread to hold fillings without becoming soggy.
  • For extra melty texture, try blending provolone with mozzarella cheese.
  • Let the bread rest a few minutes after baking to retain structure and enhance flavor melding.
