Ingredients

01 1 loaf of Italian bread or French baguette (sliced in half lengthwise)
02 1 lb thinly sliced rib-eye steak or sirloin (or pre-cooked steak if preferred)
03 1 tablespoon olive oil
04 1 small onion, thinly sliced
05 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
06 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
07 1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 Salt and pepper to taste
09 1 ½ cups shredded provolone cheese
10 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
11 ¼ cup mayonnaise (optional, for spreading)
12 Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 01

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and bell peppers (if using) and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the sliced steak to the skillet and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Season with garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, then mix everything together. Remove from heat.

Step 02

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the loaf of Italian bread or French baguette on a baking sheet, cut side up. (Optionally, you can spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the cut sides of the bread for added flavor and creaminess.)

Step 03

Evenly distribute the cooked steak, onions, and peppers over the cut sides of the bread. Top with a generous layer of shredded provolone and mozzarella cheese.

Step 04

Place the bread in the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden. You can also broil the bread for an additional 1-2 minutes to get the cheese extra bubbly and slightly crispy.

Step 05

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Slice into pieces and serve immediately.
