INGREDIENTS
✅ 1 large loaf Italian bread
✅ 1 lb (450g) thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin works best)
✅ 1 cup sliced bell peppers (mixed colors)
✅ 1 cup sliced onions
✅ 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
✅ 3 tbsp garlic butter
✅ Salt & pepper to taste
✅ Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat & Prep Bread
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the top off the bread loaf lengthwise, then hollow out the inside (leave ~½ inch of bread on the bottom and sides).
2. Cook the Filling
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of oil.
Cook onions and bell peppers until soft, ~4-5 minutes.
Add the sliced beef, season with salt & pepper, and cook until browned. Remove from heat.
3. Garlic Butter the Loaf
Brush the inside of the hollowed bread generously with garlic butter.
4. Assemble
Layer half of the provolone cheese inside the bread.
Spoon in the cooked beef, peppers, and onions evenly.
Top with remaining provolone.
5. Bake
Place stuffed bread on a baking sheet.
Bake 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bread is crispy.
6. Finish & Serve
Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Slice into thick pieces and enjoy hot!
