Description
A savory cheesy ribeye sandwich loaded with bell peppers and onions, perfect for a hearty meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz ribeye steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh bell peppers, sliced (green or mixed colors)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 6 oz provolone or American cheese, sliced or shredded
- 1 Italian bread loaf (approx. 12 inches)
- 3 tbsp butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Additional seasonings (optional)
- Sliced jalapeños or hot sauce (for spicy twist)
- Chicken or turkey slices (for protein swap)
- Sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, extra bell peppers (for vegetarian option)
- Mozzarella, cheddar, or pepper jack cheese (for cheese variety)
- Gluten-free baguette or rolls (for gluten-free adaptation)
Instructions
- Thinly slice the ribeye or preferred beef cut. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a little oil, and cook the steak slices quickly until just browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the sliced bell peppers and onions until soft and fragrant, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Take the Italian bread loaf and slice it lengthwise without cutting completely through, so it opens like a book. Lightly butter the inside surfaces and rub minced garlic over the buttered areas to infuse aroma.
- On one half of the bread, evenly layer the cooked steak slices, followed by the sautéed peppers and onions. Generously top the filling with slices or shreds of provolone or American cheese, ensuring a gooey texture in each bite.
- Close the bread loaf and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil. Place it on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes. Then unwrap the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes uncovered to crisp the crust and fully melt the cheese.
- Allow the cheesy bread to cool slightly after baking for about 5 minutes to firm up the filling. Slice into generous portions and serve warm for the ultimate savory experience.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the types of cheese based on your preference.
- This sandwich is excellent with a side of fries or a salad.
- For a healthier option, use whole grain bread.
