Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 French bread loaf
- 1 pound Ribeye steak
- 1 yellow onion
Cheese and Dairy:
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup shredded Asiago cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- Provolone cheese slices
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 spoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Thinly slice the Ribeye steak and yellow onion. Sizzle in a pan over medium-high heat with Worcestershire sauce for 2-3 minutes until meat is slightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Slice French bread horizontally into two equal halves.
- Create a creamy garlic cheese spread by blending mayonnaise, minced garlic, softened butter, Asiago cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and Italian seasoning until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Lavishly coat both bread halves with the prepared garlic cheese mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Distribute the cooked steak and caramelized onions evenly across the cheese-spread bread surface.
- Layer provolone cheese slices strategically over the steak and onion mixture.
- Enhance flavors by sprinkling a pinch of salt and pepper across the top.
- Transfer bread to a preheated oven at 400°F. Bake for 12-15 minutes until bread edges turn golden and cheese melts completely, creating a bubbling, appetizing surface.
Notes
- Choose a well-marbled ribeye for maximum flavor and tenderness when slicing thinly against the grain.
- Caramelize onions slowly to develop a rich, sweet undertone that complements the steak’s robust taste.
- Keep cooking time short to prevent steak from becoming tough and maintain its juicy texture.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like adding blue cheese or smoked gouda for unique flavor profiles.
- Use gluten-free bread for a celiac-friendly version or swap bread with portobello mushrooms for a low-carb alternative.
- Fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives can add a bright, fresh finish to the garlic cheese spread.
- Ensure your oven is fully preheated to achieve that perfect golden-brown crispy bread edge and melted cheese.
