Ingredients
1 loaf French bread, halved lengthwise
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lb thinly sliced beef (ribeye, skirt steak, or deli roast beef)
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
2 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
Prepare the Cheesesteak Filling:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced beef and cook until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms until tender. Return the beef to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and mix well. Remove from heat.
Prepare the Bread:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the halved French bread on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Brush the bread with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.
Assemble the Cheesy Bread:
Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly over each bread half.
Top with shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese for added flavor.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
If desired, broil for 1–2 minutes for a golden, crispy top.
Serve:
Slice into pieces and serve hot. This cheesy bread pairs perfectly with a side salad or a bowl of soup.
