Ingredients
1 loaf Italian bread
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 pound ribeye steak
Black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
½ cup parmesan cheese
Parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the loaf of bread lengthwise into two halves. Place both halves on the baking sheet, cut side up.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic, butter, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
Slice the meat into thin strips. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat olive oil and a bit of butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Add green peppers in the last 5 minutes if using.
Transfer onions and peppers to a plate and cover to keep warm.
In the same skillet, cook the ribeye slices until cooked through but not crisp, about 2 minutes.
Divide the meat equally between the bread halves, top with onions and peppers, then sprinkle with both cheeses.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Garnish with parsley and slice into portions to serve.
