Description

Hearty Philly cheesesteak cheesy bread delivers authentic Philadelphia flavor in a simple, satisfying dish. Melted provolone, thinly sliced beef, and caramelized onions combine to make you crave this comforting classic.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) Provolone cheese (shredded)
  • 12 oz (340 g) Philly cheesesteak meat (thinly sliced)
  • 1 loaf Frozen French Garlic Bread
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 green bell pepper (finely chopped)
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • Olive oil for cooking
  • Garlic powder (to taste)
  • Onion powder (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the garlic bread packaging. Prepare the garlic bread according to package instructions, keeping the oven hot for later use.
  2. Place a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the Philly cheesesteak meat until completely browned, carefully draining any excess fat to maintain a crisp texture.
  3. Season the cooked meat with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly. Remove the meat from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, drizzle a small amount of olive oil and reduce heat to medium. Sauté the chopped green bell pepper and onion until they become soft and slightly caramelized.
  5. Layer the pre-baked garlic bread with shredded Provolone cheese, creating a base for the toppings. Spread the seasoned meat evenly across the cheese, then distribute the sautéed vegetables on top.
  6. Add a final layer of Provolone cheese to completely cover the meat and vegetables. Return the prepared bread to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts and turns a light golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cheese to set slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Opt for thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak for the most authentic Philly cheesesteak texture and flavor.
  • Pat the meat dry before cooking to achieve a perfect golden-brown sear and prevent excess moisture.
  • For a lighter version, swap regular garlic bread with cauliflower crust or low-carb bread alternatives.
  • Experiment with different cheese combinations like Swiss or white American cheese to customize the flavor profile.
