👨🍳 How to Make Cheesesteak-Stuffed Garlic Bread
Step 1: Sauté the Veggies
- Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add sliced onions (and peppers if using). Sauté until soft and golden, about 7–10 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Step 2: Cook the Steak
- Push onions to the side of the pan and add the steak in a single layer.
- Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes until just browned. Toss together with the onions and set aside.
Step 3: Prep the Garlic Bread
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the loaf lengthwise but don’t slice all the way through—you want it to open like a book.
- Mix softened butter, garlic, and parsley in a small bowl.
- Spread the garlic butter evenly on both inside halves of the bread.
Step 4: Assemble
- Layer provolone cheese inside the bread.
- Spoon the steak and onion mixture over the cheese.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
- Gently press the bread closed, wrap loosely in foil.
Step 5: Bake
- Bake for 15–20 minutes wrapped in foil. Then uncover and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes to crisp the top and melt the cheese.
Step 6: Serve
- Let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
🍽 Serving Ideas
- Cut into thick slices and serve as a main or appetizer
- Pair with fries, salad, or a bowl of soup
- Serve with a side of marinara or spicy mayo for dipping
💡 Tips for the Best Cheesesteak Garlic Bread
