Description
This indulgent dish combines juicy steak, rich garlic butter, and gooey melted cheese on a thick slice of toasted bread. It’s the ultimate comfort food with layers of flavor, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- Steak: Choose your favorite cut (ribeye or flank steak) for a juicy and tender bite.
- Garlic Butter: A mix of butter, minced garlic, and seasonings to coat the bread with rich, garlicky flavor.
- Bread: Thick, hearty loaf of French or Italian bread for a crispy exterior and soft interior when toasted.
- Cheese: Mozzarella and cheddar cheese for a deliciously gooey, melty topping.
- Fresh Herbs: A sprinkle of parsley or thyme to garnish and enhance the flavors.
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Season the steak with salt and pepper. Sear it on a hot pan or grill until your desired level of doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic and a pinch of salt. You can also add chopped fresh parsley for extra flavor.
- Prepare the Bread: Slice the loaf of French or Italian bread into thick pieces. Spread a generous amount of garlic butter on each slice.
- Assemble the Bread: Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet. Layer the sliced steak on top of the buttered bread, then sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
- Toast the Bread: Place the bread in a preheated oven (about 375°F or 190°C) for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is toasted.
- Finish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme. Serve warm.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
- You can add sautéed onions or mushrooms on top of the steak for extra flavor.
- To make this dish even more decadent, drizzle with a bit of balsamic glaze before serving.
