Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Bread and Dairy
- 1 French bread loaf, halved lengthwise
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
Other Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare skillet: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the steak: Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer the cooked steak to a plate.
- Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced green bell pepper, yellow onion, and mushrooms. Cook until they become tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Combine steak and seasoning: Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce to combine, then remove the skillet from heat.
- Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened unsalted butter with the minced garlic and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Toast the bread: Spread the garlic butter evenly over the cut sides of the French bread halves. Place them on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to lightly toast the bread.
- Add toppings and cheese: Remove the toasted bread from the oven. Evenly distribute the steak and vegetable mixture over both halves. Layer the provolone cheese slices on top.
- Melt cheese and crisp edges: Return the topped bread to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the edges of the bread are crisp and golden brown.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top. Slice the garlic bread into portions and serve warm.
Notes
- Use shaved ribeye for the most authentic Philly cheesesteak texture and flavor.
- Substitute Pepper Jack cheese for a spicier twist on the classic provolone topping.
- To prevent soggy bread, always pre-toast the loaf before adding the steak and cheese toppings.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or sautéed jalapeños with the vegetables.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness and melty cheese.
