Cooking Instructions for Philly Cheesesteak Garlic Bread
Select a hearty loaf that can handle robust toppings and withstand baking without falling apart. The bread will be the canvas for your delicious creation.

Slowly cook onions until they turn a rich golden brown, releasing their natural sweetness. Add minced garlic during the final moments to infuse an aromatic punch.
Layer the seared steak across the bread, creating an even distribution. Scatter the caramelized onions and garlic generously over the meat.
Sprinkle cheese lavishly across the surface, ensuring complete coverage. Select a cheese that melts beautifully and complements the robust meat flavors.
Bake in a preheated oven until the cheese turns molten and the bread edges become crispy and golden. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

Ingredients
- 1 lb (454 g) ribeye steak (thinly sliced)
- 1 loaf Italian bread or French baguette (sliced lengthwise)
- 1 cup (240 ml) provolone or mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) olive oil (divided)
- salt (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
- optional toppings (sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, or jalapeños)
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) for optimal garlic bread baking conditions.
- Bread Setup: Carefully slice bread horizontally, creating two even surfaces for topping.
- Steak Searing: Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, quickly sear ribeye steak to develop a rich brown crust, seasoning with salt and pepper during cooking.
- Steak Resting: Transfer cooked steak to a plate, allowing meat to rest and retain its juicy essence.
- Onion Caramelization: In the same skillet, add olive oil and slowly caramelize onions, incorporating minced garlic to release aromatic flavors.
- Bread Assembly: Layer steak evenly across bread surface, topping with caramelized onions and garlic, then generously sprinkle cheese to ensure complete coverage.
- Optional Flavor Boost: Consider adding bell peppers, mushrooms, or jalapeños for enhanced complexity.
- Baking Process: Slide prepared garlic bread into preheated oven, baking 10-12 minutes until cheese becomes bubbly and bread edges turn golden and crisp.
- Serving: Remove from oven, allow brief cooling, then slice into generous portions, serving immediately while cheese remains gloriously melted and bread maintains its crispness.
Notes
- Meat Selection Tip: Choose high-quality ribeye with minimal fat for tender, juicy results that elevate the entire dish’s flavor profile.
- Cheese Melting Trick: Use a combination of provolone and mozzarella for optimal stretch and rich, creamy texture that creates irresistible cheese pulls.
- Bread Preparation Hack: Lightly brush bread with garlic-infused olive oil before topping to enhance crispiness and add an extra layer of aromatic flavor.
- Temperature Control Secret: Allow steak to rest at room temperature before cooking to ensure even searing and prevent moisture loss during preparation.
