Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • French Bread Loaf: A fresh loaf provides the perfect base; choose one that is crusty on the outside for extra texture.
  • Thinly Sliced Steak: Ribeye or sirloin works best; look for marbled cuts to keep it juicy.
  • Onion: Sweet onions add flavor; sauté until they caramelize for deeper richness.
  • Green Bell Pepper: This veggie adds color and crunch; slice thinly for even cooking.
  • Melted Provolone Cheese: Provolone melts beautifully; feel free to mix in mozzarella for extra gooeyness.
  • Garlic Powder: A sprinkle enhances flavor; don’t skip this aromatic touch
  • Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings that elevate every bite; adjust according to your taste preferences.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients before starting. Chop the onions and bell peppers finely so they cook evenly.

Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, melt some butter and toss in your onions and bell peppers. Cook until they soften and become fragrant.

Add the Steak: Increase heat to medium-high and add your sliced steak. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned but still tender.

Prepare the Bread: Cut your French loaf lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Gently open it up like a book to create a pocket for all the fillings.

Assemble Your Creation: Layer the meat mixture onto one side of the bread pocket generously. Top with slices of provolone cheese allowing them to melt perfectly within.

Bake It Up: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place your assembled sandwich on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

Chef's Helpful Tips
