Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 16 ounces ribeye steak
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 yellow onion
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
Bread and Dairy:
- 1 loaf soft French bread
- 10–12 slices provolone cheese
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
Seasonings and Cooking Liquids:
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Crank your oven to precisely 400°F, preparing a baking sheet for the incoming flavor explosion.
- Sprinkle 16 oz of thinly sliced ribeye with a generous pinch of salt and black pepper across every surface.
- Sizzle 1 tbsp canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then quickly sear your seasoned steak for exactly 2 minutes per side until beautifully caramelized.
- Drizzle 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce over your steak, tossing to coat evenly, then transfer to a waiting plate.
- Melt 2 tbsp butter in the same skillet, then toss in 1 sliced green bell pepper, 1 sliced yellow onion, and 8 oz mushrooms with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Saute your vegetable medley for 2-3 minutes until they turn tender and slightly golden.
- Spread ¼ cup mayonnaise across the entire surface of your halved French bread, creating a creamy base.
- Layer 5-6 provolone cheese slices across each bread half, creating a melty foundation.
- Arrange your seared steak over one bread half, then generously top with the sauteed vegetable mixture.
- Blanket the remaining provolone cheese over your loaded bread.
- Close your sandwich and slide into the 400°F oven for 10-15 minutes until the bread turns golden and cheese bubbles.
- Remove from oven, let rest for 2-3 minutes, then slice into hearty 2-inch portions. Serve immediately while everything remains gloriously warm and melted.
Notes
- Slice steak against the grain for the most tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture that makes this cheesy bread extra delicious.
- Don’t overcook the steak when searing, as it will continue cooking slightly in the oven and you want it to remain juicy and flavorful.
- For a lighter version, swap white bread for whole wheat and use lean sirloin steak to reduce calories without losing the classic Philly cheesesteak taste.
- Add a splash of hot sauce or sprinkle red pepper flakes if your crowd enjoys a spicy kick to this comfort food classic.
