Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz (453 g) ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 10–12 slices provolone cheese
- 1 loaf French bread, cut in half lengthwise
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
- 4 oz (113 g) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsps (30 mL) butter
- ¼ cup (60 mL) mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) canola oil
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) Worcestershire sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Ignite the oven to 400°F, creating an ideal environment for transforming bread into a culinary canvas.
- Meat Mastery: Season ribeye slices with salt and pepper. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high, adding canola oil. Sear meat quickly to achieve a golden crust, approximately 2 minutes per side. Deglaze with Worcestershire sauce, then transfer to a holding plate.
- Vegetable Transformation: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté green bell peppers, yellow onions, and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper, cooking until vegetables become tender and caramelized.
- Bread Foundation: Split French bread horizontally, generously coating each half with mayonnaise for a rich, creamy base.
- Layering Symphony: Arrange provolone cheese on bread’s bottom half. Layer seared steak and caramelized vegetables, then top with additional provolone cheese for a melty finish.
- Baking Finale: Position the assembled sandwich on a baking sheet, sliding into the preheated oven. Bake 12-15 minutes until cheese melts and develops a golden, bubbling surface.
- Serving Spectacle: Remove from oven, slice into two-inch sections, and serve immediately while cheese remains luxuriously molten.
Notes
- Meat Searing Secret: Cook ribeye slices quickly over high heat to lock in juices and create a perfect golden-brown crust without overcooking.
- Vegetable Caramelization Tip: Sauté peppers, onions, and mushrooms until they soften and develop deep, rich flavors that complement the steak.
- Cheese Melting Technique: Use provolone’s creamy texture to create a luscious, golden blanket that binds all ingredients together during baking.
- Bread Preparation Hack: Spread mayonnaise evenly to ensure a crispy, golden exterior and add an extra layer of rich, subtle flavor to the sandwich.
