Save

  1. Can I prepare components of the cheesy bread ahead of time?
    Yes, you can cook the steak, onions, and peppers a day in advance. Store them in the refrigerator and assemble the bread just before baking.
  2. How should I store and reheat leftover cheesy bread?
    Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place the slices in the oven at 250°F (121°C) for 10–15 minutes, or until warmed through.
  3. What cut of beef is best for this recipe?
    Thinly sliced ribeye steak is traditionally used for its tenderness and flavor. If unavailable, well-marbled cuts like sirloin can be substituted.
  4. How can I thinly slice the steak more easily?
    Partially freeze the steak for 1–2 hours before slicing. This firms up the meat, making it easier to cut thin slices.
  5. Can I use a different cheese if I don’t have provolone?
    Yes, mozzarella is a good alternative due to its melting properties.
