Bread and Cheese:
- 1 large French baguette
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375F (190C) and position a baking sheet to accommodate the bread halves.
- Slice the baguette lengthwise, creating two equal surfaces for topping.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium temperature, preparing to sear the meat.
- Cook the steak with salt and pepper, browning thoroughly until rich in color and texture.
- Transfer the cooked steak to a separate plate, reserving the flavorful pan.
- In the same skillet, sauté onions and bell peppers until they become translucent and tender.
- Drizzle Worcestershire sauce into the vegetable mixture, enhancing the savory profile.
- Return the steak to the skillet, integrating it with the sautéed vegetables.
- Combine melted butter with minced garlic, creating an aromatic spread.
- Generously brush the garlic butter across the bread’s interior surfaces.
- Distribute the steak and vegetable mixture evenly across the prepared bread.
- Liberally sprinkle provolone and mozzarella cheese over the entire surface.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese melts completely.
- Remove from oven, slice into portions, and serve immediately while hot and bubbling.
Notes
- Choose a crusty baguette with a sturdy structure to prevent sogginess during baking.
- Slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
- Pat meat dry before cooking to ensure proper browning and develop rich caramelized flavors.
- Customize heat levels by adding jalapeños or using spicy peppers for extra kick.
- Swap beef with plant-based protein like seitan or portobello mushrooms for vegetarian version.
- Use low-moisture mozzarella to prevent excessive water release and maintain crispy bread texture.
- Allow skillet ingredients to develop deep flavors by not rushing the cooking process.
