INGREDIENTS:
For the Bread:**
1 loaf Italian bread or French bread, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cups shredded provolone cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
For the Philly Cheesesteak Topping:
1 lb beef sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
4 slices provolone cheese (or more, as needed)
DIRECTIONS:
Prepare the Beef Topping:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the thinly sliced beef and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms (if using). Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Prepare the Bread:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the halved bread on a baking sheet and brush the cut sides with melted butter.
Sprinkle the shredded provolone and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the bread.
Assemble the Cheesy Bread:
Evenly distribute the Philly cheesesteak mixture over the cheesy bread.
Place the bread under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Add Provolone Cheese Slices:
Remove from the oven and place the provolone cheese slices on top of the beef mixture.
Return to the oven and broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the provolone is melted and slightly golden.
Serve:
Allow the cheesy bread to cool slightly before slicing into portions.
Serve warm and enjoy!
