Cheesesteak-Stuffed Garlic Bread Loaf
A hearty and delicious cheesesteak filling inside a crusty garlic bread, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 loaf French or Italian Bread (day-old preferred for extra crunch)
- 1 lb Ribeye Steak (can substitute with deli roast beef or chicken)
- 8 oz Provolone Cheese (can substitute with mozzarella or American cheese)
- 1 each Onion (sliced) red or yellow onions are great choices
- 1 each Bell Pepper (sliced) any color or jalapeños for spice
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced) fresh garlic is best
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce soy sauce can be a substitute
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black Pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil or Butter can mix both for richness
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice the top off the loaf lengthwise and hollow out the middle (leave a rim for structural integrity).
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over high heat, sear thin ribeye slices for 30–60 seconds per side until colored.
- Reduce heat, add 1 tbsp of butter, then toss in sliced onions and peppers. Sauté until softened and slightly caramelized, about 4–6 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce for 30 seconds (avoid burning the garlic).
Assembly
- Mix meat back with vegetables, season with salt and black pepper, and adjust to taste.
- Layer cheese inside the hollowed loaf, add the meat-vegetable mixture, then a final cheese layer.
- Close the loaf, brush with garlic butter (melt butter with minced garlic) generously.
Baking
- Wrap the loaf in foil and bake at 375°F for 10–15 minutes until cheese is gooey and the crust is golden.
- Open the foil for an extra-crispy top and broil for 1–2 minutes if desired.
Notes
For a less soggy bread, consider toasting the hollowed loaf for 5 minutes first. Slice against the grain for tender beef slices.
