Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb (454 grams) thinly sliced beef steak (such as ribeye or sirloin)
Vegetables:
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Bread and Cheese:
- 1 loaf of French bread
- 8 ounces (227 grams) provolone cheese, sliced
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Carefully slice the French bread horizontally, creating two equal halves to provide a sturdy base for the cheesesteak topping.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add thinly sliced beef steak, cooking until a rich golden-brown color develops on both sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Season the seared steak with salt and pepper, ensuring even flavor distribution, then transfer to a separate plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté sliced bell peppers and onions until they become tender and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally for about 5-6 minutes.
- Introduce minced garlic to the vegetable mixture, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to release its aromatic qualities and enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Distribute the cooked steak slices evenly across the bottom half of the French bread, creating a uniform layer of meat.
- Layer the sautéed bell peppers and onions over the steak, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully arrange provolone cheese slices across the vegetable mixture, allowing the cheese to melt and create a decadent topping.
- Transfer the assembled garlic bread to the preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes until the cheese becomes completely melted and bubbly, and the bread edges turn golden and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes to let the flavors meld and the cheese set slightly.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a pop of color and fresh herbaceous note.
- Slice into individual portions and serve immediately while warm, allowing guests to enjoy the full sensory experience of the Philly Cheesesteak Garlic Bread.
