Ingredients

  • 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak or shaved beef
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 loaf French bread or Italian bread, halved lengthwise
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra richness)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2: Make Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix minced garlic with olive oil (and butter if using). Brush generously onto the cut sides of the bread. Place bread halves on the baking sheet.

Step 3: Sauté the Veggies
In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the sliced onion and bell pepper for 5–7 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt.

Step 4: Cook the Steak
Add the shaved beef to the skillet with the veggies. Cook until browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5: Assemble the Garlic Bread
Spoon the steak and veggie mixture evenly over the garlic-buttered bread. Sprinkle provolone and mozzarella cheese generously over the top.

Step 6: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden and crisp.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley, slice into portions, and serve warm.

Serving Suggestions
