Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 1 large French bread loaf, halved lengthwise
- 6–8 slices provolone cheese
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preparation: Warm the oven to 400F (200C), ensuring a perfectly heated cooking environment.
- Garlic Butter Infusion: Thoroughly blend softened butter with finely minced garlic, creating a fragrant spread to coat the French bread halves completely.
- Bread Toasting: Position bread on a baking sheet, allowing it to transform into a golden, crispy base for approximately 5-7 minutes until lightly bronzed.
- Vegetable Sautéing: In a sizzling skillet with olive oil, tenderly cook sliced onions and peppers until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, releasing their natural sweetness.
- Meat Preparation: Introduce thinly sliced steak to the vegetable medley, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook swiftly until the meat reaches a succulent, barely done state.
- Layering and Cheese Transformation: Distribute the seared steak and vegetable mixture across toasted bread, then crown with provolone cheese slices for a luxurious finish.
- Final Baking: Return the assembled garlic bread to the oven, allowing the cheese to melt into a bubbling, golden blanket for 5-7 minutes.
- Serving: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, slice into generous portions, and serve while piping hot, delivering a mouthwatering Philly Cheesesteak Garlic Bread experience.
Notes
- Watch closely during initial 5-7 minute bake to prevent burning, ensuring golden-brown edges without charring.
- Cut steak against the grain into thin, uniform slices for tender, easy-to-chew texture that absorbs seasonings perfectly.
- Pat steak dry before cooking to achieve crispy exterior and prevent excess liquid in the skillet, creating better caramelization.
- Let cheese sit at room temperature before adding to bread, helping it melt more evenly and prevent unmelted cold spots.
