Philly Cheesesteak French Bread transforms the classic sandwich into a cheesy, open-faced meal with tender steak, sautéed peppers and onions, and melted provolone on a crispy French loaf—perfect for sharing.

Ingredients

  • 1 French bread loaf, halved lengthwise
  • 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 6–8 slices provolone cheese (or 1 cup shredded)
  • Optional: mayonnaise, sautéed mushrooms, jalapeños, or hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté sliced onions and bell peppers for 5–7 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, cook the steak with salt, pepper, and garlic powder until browned and cooked through.
  4. Return the cooked peppers and onions to the skillet and mix with the steak.
  5. Place halved French bread on a baking sheet, cut side up. Spread mayo if using.
  6. Top each bread half evenly with the steak and pepper mixture.
  7. Layer provolone cheese on top of the mixture.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until cheese is melted and bread edges are crisp.
  9. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Toast the bread before adding toppings to prevent sogginess.
  • Customize with different cheeses or added mushrooms for variation.
  • Make ahead by prepping the filling and assembling just before baking.
  • Use deli roast beef for a shortcut version.
