Dinner (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 8 ounces Rib eye Steak, thinly sliced (Choose well-marbled Rib eye for a tender texture).
02 - 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt, divided (Use half for seasoning the steak, the rest for veggies).
03 - 1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper, divided (Half for steak, half for vegetables).
04 - 1 tablespoon canola oil (For searing the steak to lock in flavor).
05 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (Adds a rich, umami flavor to the beef).
06 - 2 tablespoons butter (Used to sauté the vegetables).
07 - 1 green bell pepper, sliced (Sliced thinly for even cooking).
08 - 1 yellow onion, sliced (Adds sweetness to balance the savory flavors).
09 - 4 ounces mushrooms, sliced (For earthy depth to the mixture).
10 - 1 loaf French bread, cut in half lengthwise (The base of the cheesy bread, use a fresh loaf).
11 - 1/3 cup mayonnaise (Spread for richness on the bread).
12 - 8 ounces Provolone cheese, sliced (Melts beautifully over the steak and veggies).

Instructions:

01 - Set the oven temperature to 375°F.
02 - Season the thinly sliced beef with half the kosher salt, pepper, and canola oil.
03 - Heat a skillet over high heat, then sear the beef undisturbed for 2 minutes.
04 - Add Worcestershire sauce, stir briefly, then remove the beef from the skillet.
05 - In the same skillet, add butter, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms along with the remaining salt and pepper. Cook until golden, about 3-4 minutes.
06 - Spread mayonnaise evenly on both halves of the French bread.
07 - Layer half of the Provolone cheese on the bread, then top with the beef and sautéed vegetables. Finish with the remaining cheese.
08 - Place the bread on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.

Notes:

01 - Use a sharp knife to slice the steak thinly for even cooking.
02 - Prepping the vegetables ahead of time makes the cooking process smoother.
03 - This recipe is great for a quick dinner or a hearty appetizer.
