Ingredients:

• 1 loaf of French or Italian bread
• 1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steak Filling:
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak and cook for 4-5 minutes, until browned. Set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables:
   • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the onions, green, and red bell peppers until softened (about 5-7 minutes). Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well.
3. Combine Steak and Vegetables:
   • Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir everything together, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
4. Hollow Out the Bread:
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Slice the top off the loaf of bread and hollow out the inside, creating a cavity for the filling. Be sure to leave about 1 inch of bread around the edges to maintain structure.
5. Assemble the Stuffed Bread:
   • Layer half of the shredded provolone and mozzarella cheeses inside the hollowed bread.
   • Add the steak and vegetable mixture into the bread cavity, pressing down slightly to pack the filling.
   • Top with the remaining cheese.
6. Bake to Perfection:
   • Brush the top edges of the bread with melted butter.
   • Place the stuffed bread on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden and crispy.
7. Serve:
   • Let the Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Bread cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Slice into thick pieces and enjoy the cheesy, savory goodness!
