Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 grams) thinly sliced ribeye beef
- 1 loaf Italian bread
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded provolone cheese
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Caramelize aromatics in olive oil over medium heat, sautéing onions, bell peppers, and garlic until softened and translucent, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Introduce beef to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook until thoroughly browned and no pink remains.
- Enhance meat mixture with Worcestershire sauce, stirring to integrate flavors, and cook for an additional 2 minutes before removing from heat.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare bread by slicing lengthwise, carefully hollowing out the interior to create a vessel for filling.
- Generously butter exposed bread surfaces and toast in preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until achieving a golden, crisp texture.
- Distribute beef and vegetable mixture evenly across toasted bread base, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Generously sprinkle mozzarella and provolone cheeses over the meat layer, creating a rich, melty topping.
- Return to oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, monitoring until cheese becomes completely melted and develops a bubbly, golden appearance.
- Remove from oven, allow brief cooling, then slice into individual portions for serving.
Notes
- Customize meat choice by swapping beef with shredded chicken or plant-based alternatives for different dietary preferences.
- Toast bread carefully to prevent burning, watching closely during the 5-7 minute golden-browning process to ensure perfect crispiness.
- Enhance flavor depth by adding a splash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes for those who enjoy extra spiciness.
- Prep ingredients beforehand to streamline cooking and create a smooth, stress-free assembly process for this delicious cheesy bread.
