3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup of provolone cheese, shredded
1/2 cup of onions, sautéed
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cheesesteak bread.

Step 2: Prepare the Bread

Take a loaf of French bread and slice it open lengthwise. Be careful not to cut all the way through; you want to create a hinge.

Step 3: Mix the Garlic Butter

In a bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic and a pinch of salt. This mixture will give the bread a flavorful kick.

Step 4: Spread the Garlic Butter

Generously spread the garlic butter mixture inside the sliced bread, making sure to cover it evenly.

Step 5: Add Cheese

Sprinkle shredded provolone cheese on top of the buttered bread, making sure to cover the entire surface.

Step 6: Bake the Bread

Place the stuffed bread on a baking sheet and bake it in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7: Add the Steak

While the bread is baking, cook thinly sliced steak in a skillet until browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8: Assemble the Cheesesteak

Remove the bread from the oven and fill it with the cooked steak. Optionally, you can add sautéed onions and bell peppers for extra flavor.

Step 9: Final Bake

Return the assembled cheesesteak bread to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow it to warm through.

Step 10: Serve and Enjoy

Take the bread out of the oven, slice into portions, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious French garlic Philly cheesesteak!
