4. Bake Until Golden
- Place the assembled loaf on a baking sheet and close the top half of the bread over the filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Optional: Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for extra crispiness (watch closely to avoid burning).
5. Garnish and Serve
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
- Slice into individual portions and serve warm. Enjoy the gooey, savory goodness!
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with a side of marinara sauce or horseradish dipping sauce for an extra kick.
- Serve alongside a simple green salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
- Offer cold beers, sodas, or sparkling lemonade as refreshing drink pairings.
Pro Tips for Success
- Thinly Slice the Beef: Ask your butcher to slice the beef thinly, or partially freeze the meat before slicing for easier handling.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and parsley elevate the flavor of the garlic butter.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the cheesesteak filling ahead of time and reheat before assembling the bread.
- Experiment with Cheese: Swap provolone for mozzarella, cheddar, or even pepper jack for a spicy twist.
