Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced
Vegetables:
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Bread and Dairy:
- 1 loaf French bread, cut in half lengthwise
- 8 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Elevate oven temperature to 400°F for optimal bread crisping and cheese melting.
- Sear beef strips in a hot skillet over medium-high heat, developing deep caramelized edges and rich flavor.
- Incorporate diced bell peppers and onions into the meat, sautéing until vegetables become translucent and slightly softened.
- Prepare French bread by generously coating both halves with garlic-infused butter, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Arrange sautéed beef and vegetable mixture across bread surface, creating an even layer of protein and aromatics.
- Layer provolone cheese slices strategically over the meat, allowing for complete coverage and maximum meltability.
- Transfer prepared garlic bread to baking sheet and place in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, watching for golden edges and fully melted cheese.
- Remove from oven when cheese is bubbling and bread edges turn crisp and golden brown.
- Allow to rest for 2-3 minutes to set cheese and prevent burning.
- Slice diagonally into hearty portions and serve immediately while warm and most flavorful.
Notes
- Pick tender, thinly sliced beef like ribeye or sirloin for the most melt-in-your-mouth texture and easiest cooking experience.
- Drain excess liquid from steak and vegetables to prevent soggy bread and ensure a crispy base that holds up perfectly.
- Customize by adding sliced jalapeños for heat or using different cheese varieties like Swiss or white cheddar for unique flavor profiles.
- Use gluten-free French bread or cauliflower toast for low-carb and celiac-friendly alternatives without compromising the classic cheesesteak essence.
