Ingredients
- 1 lb steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank), thinly sliced
- 1 loaf garlic bread (store-bought frozen or homemade)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper (optional), sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp butter (if making garlic toast from scratch)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or Italian seasoning, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare garlic toast – Bake garlic bread according to package directions, or make your own by spreading butter mixed with garlic on bread slices and toasting until golden.
- Cook steak – Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak with salt and pepper, then sear for 2–3 minutes per side until cooked to your liking. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté veggies – In the same skillet, cook onion (and bell pepper, if using) until soft and caramelized.
- Assemble toast – Place garlic bread slices on a baking sheet. Layer with steak, sautéed veggies, and shredded cheese.
- Broil – Place under the broiler for 2–3 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve – Garnish with parsley or Italian seasoning and serve immediately.
Notes
- For maximum flavor, slice steak thinly against the grain.
- Use provolone for a classic melt, or swap in cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack for variety.
- Add mushrooms or jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Don’t skip the broiler—it gives the cheese that irresistible bubbly finish.
- Great way to use up leftover steak from another meal.
