Homemade Philly Cheesesteak Cheesy Bread

Step 1: Prepare the Beef Mixture

  1. Slice the Beef: For easy slicing, partially freeze the steak for about 30 minutes before cutting into thin strips.
  2. Cook the Onion and Peppers: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Cook the Beef: In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced steak. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
  4. Combine: Return the cooked onions and peppers to the skillet with the beef. Stir to combine and remove from heat.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesy Bread

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Bread Base: Place the baguette or Italian loaf halves on a baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over each half for added creaminess.
  3. Add Cheese and Beef: Sprinkle a layer of provolone cheese over the bread. Evenly spread the beef mixture on top, then layer more shredded provolone and cheddar cheese on top of the beef.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Broil for Extra Crispness: For an extra golden, bubbly finish, switch to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

Step 3: Serve

  1. Garnish and Serve: Remove the cheesy bread from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
  2. Slice and Enjoy: Slice the bread into servings and enjoy the ooey-gooey Philly cheesesteak goodness!
