Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables & Meat
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (divided)
- 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 1 large yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 16 oz shaved steak or thinly sliced ribeye steak
Seasonings
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
Bread & Cheese
- 1 loaf French bread
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasonings
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup chopped Italian parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Heat ½ tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced red and green bell peppers and yellow onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add 2 teaspoons minced garlic in the last minute, stirring to combine.
- Cook the steak: Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil. Add the shaved steak and season with kosher salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and smoked paprika. Cook for about 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the steak is cooked through and well mixed with the vegetables.
- Prepare the garlic bread topping: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasonings. Slice the loaf of French bread lengthwise, then brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over both halves.
- Assemble the bread: Layer the cooked steak and vegetable mixture evenly on the bottom half of the bread. Place 8 slices of provolone cheese over the steak mixture, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Bake the sandwich: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is toasted.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the bread from the oven and sprinkle with chopped Italian parsley. Slice into 8 servings and serve warm for a hearty and flavorful meal.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced ribeye for an authentic Philly cheesesteak texture and flavor.
- If you prefer spicier flavors, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when cooking the vegetables and steak.
- Leftover garlic butter can be stored and used for other bread-based recipes.
- For extra crispiness, you can toast the bread halves briefly before adding the toppings.
- Feel free to customize with other cheeses like cheddar or American cheese as per your preference.
