Ingredients:

For the Cheesesteak Filling:

• 1 pound (450g) ribeye steak, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Cheesy Bread:

• 1 large French bread loaf, halved lengthwise
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup (100g) shredded provolone cheese
• 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cheesesteak Filling:

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and peppers, cooking until softened and lightly caramelized, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, cook the ribeye steak slices until browned, about 3–4 minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix the steak with the cooked onions and peppers.

2. Prepare the Bread Base:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the halved French bread on a baking sheet, cut side up.
3. Spread softened butter evenly over the cut sides of the bread. Sprinkle with garlic powder.

3. Assemble the Cheesesteak Cheesy Bread:

1. Top the buttered bread evenly with the cheesesteak filling.
2. Sprinkle the provolone, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses generously over the top.

4. Bake the Cheesy Bread:

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
2. Switch to broil for 1–2 minutes to give the cheese a golden, crispy finish.

5. Slice and Serve:

1. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly.
2. Slice into pieces and serve hot.

Tips for Success:

• For authentic flavor, use ribeye steak or a similar cut for tenderness.
• Freeze the steak for 15 minutes before slicing to make it easier to cut thin slices.
• Add mushrooms or jalapeños for extra flavor.

Recommendations:

• Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping or a crisp salad to balance the richness.
• This recipe is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven to retain crispness.
