Philly Cheesesteak Garlic Bread

Why You’ll Love Philly Cheesesteak Garlic Bread Recipe

This Philly Cheesesteak Garlic Bread combines the best of two comfort foods: the cheesy, meaty flavors of a Philly cheesesteak and the buttery, garlicky crunch of garlic bread. It’s hearty, easy to make, and perfect for game days, family dinners, or when you just want something indulgent and satisfying.

Ingredients

• 1 large French bread loaf (or Italian bread)

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 lb ribeye steak (thinly sliced)

• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced

• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)

• 1 ½ cups provolone cheese, shredded (or mozzarella)

• ½ cup Cheez Whiz or queso (optional, for extra cheesiness)

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise. Mix melted butter, olive oil, and garlic, then brush over the cut sides of the bread. Place on the baking sheet.

3. Toast the bread in the oven for 5–7 minutes, until lightly golden.

4. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the thinly sliced ribeye until just cooked, seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.

5. In the same skillet, sauté onions, peppers, and mushrooms until softened.

6. Spread Cheez Whiz (if using) over the toasted bread. Layer with steak, sautéed veggies, and shredded provolone cheese.

7. Return to oven and bake 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Garnish with fresh parsley, slice, and serve warm.

Servings and Timing

• Servings: 6–8 slices

• Prep Time: 15 minutes

• Cook Time: 20 minutes

• Total Time: 35 minutes

Variations

• Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes.

• Different Cheese: Try white American, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack cheese.

• Chicken Version: Swap ribeye for thinly sliced chicken breast.

• Mini Bites: Use baguette slices for appetizer-style Philly cheesesteak garlic bread.

Storage/Reheating

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

• Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 8–10 minutes until warmed through (avoid the microwave—it makes the bread soggy).

• Freeze unbaked garlic bread halves (with toppings) tightly wrapped for up to 2 months; bake straight from frozen, adding extra time.

FAQs

Q: Do I have to use ribeye?
No, you can use flank steak, sirloin, or even deli roast beef for convenience.

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes—assemble the bread up to a day ahead, then bake just before serving.

Q: What’s the best bread to use?
A sturdy French or Italian loaf works best—it holds up under the toppings.
