Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 loaf frozen French garlic bread Bread can be frozen until ready to bake.
  • 12 oz Philly cheesesteak meat (thinly sliced) Thin steak cooks quickly; watch closely.
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce Adds savory depth.
  • 2 cups shredded provolone cheese Use for a classic melt.
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • Garlic powder (onion powder, salt, and pepper, to taste) Adjust to taste.
  • Olive oil For cooking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven and bake the frozen French garlic bread according to the package directions. Leave the oven on when the bread is done.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high and add a splash of olive oil. Add the thinly sliced steak and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 3–5 minutes.
  3. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Set the meat aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add more olive oil and sauté the chopped green pepper and onion until soft and slightly caramelized, about 5–7 minutes.
Assembly
  1. Slice the baked garlic bread lengthwise and lay the bottom half on a baking sheet. Sprinkle a layer of shredded provolone cheese on top.
  2. Spread the cooked steak, followed by the sautéed onions and peppers evenly over the cheese.
  3. Top with the remaining provolone cheese and replace the top half of the loaf if you prefer a closed sandwich.
Baking
  1. Return the assembled loaf to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts and bubbles, and the edges of the bread turn lightly golden.
  2. Slice and serve hot.

Notes

For a crunchy snack, consider making garlic bread ritz bites with extra garlic. Optional garnishes include chopped parsley, hot sauce, or a squeeze of lemon. Store leftovers wrapped airtight for 2–3 days in the fridge or freeze individual slices for up to 1 month.
