Notes

  • Sirloin, ribeye, New York strip, or filet mignon all work well in this recipe.
  • Leftover cooked steak can be used for a quick and easy version.
  • Toasting the bread helps keep it crisp and prevents sogginess.
  • Blue cheese, goat cheese, mozzarella, or provolone can be used as alternatives to Parmesan.
  • Prepare the topping ahead of time and reheat gently before assembling.
  • Serve with wine, charcuterie boards, salads, soups, or roasted vegetables.
