Here’s a tasty recipe for Cheesy Steak Stuffed French Bread:
Ingredients:
- 1 French baguette or loaf of French bread
- 1 lb (450g) steak (such as sirloin or ribeye), thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the French baguette or French bread loaf in half lengthwise, creating two long halves. Scoop out some of the bread from each half to create a hollow cavity.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the onion and bell pepper mixture. Stir to combine and heat through.
- Place the hollowed-out French bread halves on a baking sheet. Spoon the steak, onion, and bell pepper mixture evenly into each half.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each stuffed bread half.
- Place the stuffed French bread in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is crispy on the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
