How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Cheesy Bread

Step 1: Prepare the Steak and Vegetables

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak and season with salt and pepper. Fry the steak until it’s no longer pink, then add the Worcestershire sauce and continue cooking until the liquid has reduced and the meat has browned. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed. Transfer the cooked steak to a plate and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt another tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced onions and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook slowly, stirring often, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown. This process takes time but is crucial for developing the best flavor. Be careful not to burn the onions. Transfer the caramelized onions to a bowl and wipe the skillet clean.

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and cook until softened, seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove the peppers from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Assemble the Cheesy Bread

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and horseradish sauce. Season with salt to taste. Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the cut sides of the French bread halves. Layer the steak, caramelized onions, and sautéed bell peppers over the mayonnaise spread on the bread. Top with the shredded provolone cheese.

Step 3: Bake and Serve

Place the baking sheet with the assembled cheesy bread in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer the cheesy bread to a cutting board. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and cut into 2-inch slices using a sharp knife. Serve warm and enjoy!
