how to make Cheesesteak-Stuffed Garlic Bread Loaf

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 Onion (sliced) (red or yellow onions are great choices)
1 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)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil or butter. Once it’s hot, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring continuously so it doesn’t burn.
Add the ribeye steak to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until the steak is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise. Scoop out some of the bread from the inside to create a space for the filling.
Place the steak mixture into the hollowed-out bread and top with provolone cheese.
Place the stuffed bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, slice, and enjoy!
