Steak Garlic Bread Ingredients
- 1 pound cooked steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank), thinly sliced
- 1 large French baguette or Italian loaf, sliced lengthwise
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded provolone or cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Garlic Butter: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and ½ teaspoon of salt until thoroughly blended to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- Spread Garlic Butter and Bake Bread: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over both halves of the sliced bread. Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes until the bread is lightly golden and slightly toasted.
- Warm the Steak: While the bread is baking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced steak and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes just to warm the steak through without overcooking.
- Top Bread with Steak and Cheese: Remove the garlic bread from the oven and evenly distribute the warmed steak slices over both halves. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and provolone (or cheddar) cheeses evenly on top of the steak.
- Final Bake: Return the topped bread to the oven and bake for an additional 6 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, slice into serving portions, and serve hot for a delicious and hearty meal.
Notes
- This recipe is ideal for using leftover cooked steak.
