Kitchen Equipment Needed:
- Large skillet
- Baking sheet
- Knife and cutting board
- Measuring spoons
- Spatula
- Aluminum foil (optional)
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of French bread, sliced in half lengthwise
- 1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the steak and veggies: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak, season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onion, and sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
- Prepare the bread: Spread the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard evenly over the cut sides of the French bread halves. Arrange them on a baking sheet.
- Assemble the cheesy bread: Top each half of the bread with the cooked steak, followed by the sautéed peppers and onions. Sprinkle shredded provolone and mozzarella cheese evenly over both bread halves.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Slice into pieces and serve hot.
