Ingredients

  • 1 large Italian bread loaf
  • 450g thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin recommended)
  • 1 cup mixed sliced bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
  • 1 cup sliced onions
  • 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
  • 3 tablespoons garlic butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the garlic butter. Add the onions and bell peppers, sautéing until softened (about 5-6 minutes).
  3. Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the beef is browned and cooked through.
  4. Slice the Italian loaf lengthwise and carefully scoop out some of the inside bread to create room for the filling.
  5. Spoon the beef, onion, and pepper mixture evenly into the hollowed bread loaf.
  6. Top with shredded provolone cheese, pressing gently to help it melt into the mixture.
  7. Place the stuffed loaf on a baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden and crisp.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Slice into servings and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.

Tips for the Best Cheesesteak Garlic Bread

  • Use fresh provolone: It melts better and adds a richer flavor than pre-shredded.
  • Hollow carefully: Removing too much bread can make the loaf too fragile—just carve enough to fit the filling securely.
  • Press cheese gently: This helps it bind the filling and soak into the bread for the perfect cheesy layer.
  • Reheat like a pro: Wrap slices in foil and warm in the oven for 10 minutes at 175°C (350°F) to keep the bread crispy.
