Indulge in a quick dinner of steak and cheese stuffed French bread, the ultimate comfort food packed with rich flavors and gooey goodness.
Ingredients
- • Ribeye steak: 1 pound, thinly sliced
- • French bread: 1 large loaf
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Onion powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Provolone cheese: 6 slices
- • Cream cheese: 1/2 cup
- • Parmesan cheese: 1/4 cup, grated
- • Butter: 2 tablespoons, melted
- • Fresh parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the French bread in half lengthwise and hollow out some of the bread to make room for the filling.
- 2 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak slices with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sear the steak in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat.
- 3 In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese, stirring until smooth and creamy. Spread this cheese mixture evenly inside the hollowed-out bread halves.
- 4 Layer the cooked steak slices over the cheese mixture, then top with the Provolone cheese slices. Close the bread halves together and brush the top with melted butter.
- 5 Wrap the stuffed bread in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then unwrap and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the bread is golden and crispy.
- 6 Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into portions. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- • To complement the rich flavors of this stuffed French bread, consider serving it with a side of crispy potato wedges or a fresh garden salad. The crispy potatoes add a delightful crunch, while the salad brings a refreshing balance to the hearty meal. For beverage pairings, a robust red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon or a cold craft beer provides a perfect match for the steak's savory notes. Alternatively, a light coleslaw can offer a cool, creamy contrast to the warm, cheesy bread. If you want to elevate the experience further, consider serving with a dipping sauce like a tangy horseradish aioli or a smoky barbecue sauce to enhance the flavors.
Storage Tips
To store any leftovers, wrap the slices in aluminum foil or place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results when reheating, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and warm the slices for about 10 minutes. This method helps retain the bread's crispiness and the cheese's gooey texture. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the bread soggy.
