Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bread
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a loaf of Italian or French bread and cut it into a grid pattern. Be careful not to cut all the way through the bottom.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a skillet, cook sliced onions and bell peppers over medium heat until they are soft. Add thinly sliced steak and cook until the meat is browned and cooked through.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients
Once the steak is cooked, remove the skillet from heat and mix in provolone cheese until it melts. Ensure the mixture is well combined.
Step 4: Stuff the Bread
Carefully stuff the cheese-steak mixture into the cuts of the bread. Make sure to fill every opening generously.
Step 5: Prepare for Baking
Place the stuffed bread onto a baking sheet. Melt some butter and brush it over the top of the bread for added flavor.
Step 6: Bake the Bread
Bake the stuffed bread in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Step 7: Serve
Remove the bread from the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes, then pull apart and serve warm.
