Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready for baking those delicious stuffed loaves.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion and bell pepper for about 5 minutes until they're soft and fragrant.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, allowing the aroma to fill your kitchen.
- Add the sliced ribeye beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes, seasoning generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Slice the Italian bread lengthwise and carefully hollow out each half, creating a perfect pocket for all that cheesesteak goodness.
- Fill the hollowed bread with the delicious cheesesteak mixture, then top generously with provolone cheese.
- Place the stuffed bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, with a golden crust forming on the outside.
- Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
Notes
For the best flavor, serve immediately after baking. If you’re making ahead, store the filling separately and stuff the bread just before baking.
