Let’s Make it Together
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it’s heating up, grab your trusty skillet because we’re about to create some magic.
Sauté Those Veggies: Melt some butter over medium heat in your skillet. Add sliced onions and bell peppers; cook until they turn soft and fragrant—about 5-7 minutes will do the trick.
Cook the Steak: Toss in your sliced steak next along with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until browned but not overdone—no one likes rubbery steak.
Prepare Your Bread Base: Slice your baguette lengthwise—like you’re creating a cozy little boat for all that filling. Spread butter generously on both halves.
Add Filling Generously: Pile on that glorious steak mixture onto each half of the bread. Don’t skimp here; make it a hearty meal.
Top It Off With Cheese.: Sprinkle your cheese blend over the filling until you achieve maximum cheesiness.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Place your loaded bread halves on a baking sheet and pop them into the oven for about 10-15 minutes. Look for that heavenly melted-cheese-and-golden-crust combo.
Once out of the oven, let cool briefly before slicing into pieces—unless you want to burn your tongue like I did on my first attempt. Serve hot with dipping sauces if desired.
