Ingredients:

For the Steak Mixture:

  • 1 lb ribeye steak (thinly sliced) or flank steak
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small onion (sliced)
  • 1 small green bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 small red bell pepper (sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

For the Cheesy Bread:

  • 1 large French baguette (sliced in half lengthwise)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Steak Mixture:
    • Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Add the sliced steak and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned.
    • Add the onions and bell peppers. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until softened.
    • Stir in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 1 more minute, then remove from heat.
  3. Prepare the Bread:
    • In a small bowl, mix softened butter and garlic powder.
    • Spread this butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the French baguette.
  4. Assemble the Cheesy Bread:
    • Sprinkle half of the mozzarella, provolone, and cheddar cheese over the buttered bread.
    • Evenly distribute the cooked steak mixture over the cheese.
    • Top with the remaining cheese.
  5. Bake: Place the prepared bread on the baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley, slice into portions, and serve warm!

Notes & Tips:

  • Best Cheese Option: Traditional Philly cheesesteaks use provolone, but mozzarella and cheddar add great flavor. Feel free to experiment with different cheese blends.
  • Bread Choice: Use a crispy baguette or Italian bread to hold up to the toppings without becoming soggy.
  • Meat Substitute: If you can’t find ribeye, sirloin or skirt steak work well. You can also use shaved steak from the grocery store.
  • Shortcut Option: Use deli roast beef instead of cooking steak to save time.
  • Extra Flavor: Add mushrooms for extra heartiness or hot banana peppers for a spicy kick.
