Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 300 g (10.5 ounces) ribeye steak
- 300 g (10.5 ounces) sirloin steak
- 300 g (10.5 ounces) flank steak
Bread and Cheese:
- 4 slices thick-cut bread
- 1 cup (100 g) mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup (50 g) cheddar cheese
- ½ cup (50 g) provolone cheese
Additional Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ onion
- ½ green bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Red pepper flakes (for garnish)
Instructions
- Craft the aromatic foundation by preheating the oven to 400F (200C), then whisk together softened butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, and chopped parsley to create a fragrant spread.
- Lavishly coat each bread slice with the garlic butter mixture, positioning them buttered-side up on a baking sheet, and bake until the edges transform into a crispy golden landscape.
- Season the steak generously with salt and black pepper, creating a flavor-enhanced canvas for cooking.
- Ignite a skillet over medium-high heat, introducing olive oil and butter to create a sizzling cooking environment.
- Gently place the steak into the heated skillet, allowing it to cook for 3-4 minutes per side until reaching the desired level of doneness, enhancing the final moments with a splash of Worcestershire sauce.
- Transfer the cooked steak to a resting area, letting it relax for several minutes before slicing thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness.
- Utilize the same skillet to caramelize onions and green bell peppers, transforming them into a sweet and soft topping.
- Construct flavor layers by draping sliced steak over the crispy garlic toast, then blanket with a melange of mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
- Strategically position the assembled toasts under the broiler, monitoring closely as the cheese melts into a golden, bubbling masterpiece.
- Elevate the final presentation by sprinkling fresh parsley and optional red pepper flakes, then serve immediately to capture the peak of culinary delight.
Notes
- Slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing, ensuring each bite is melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
- Choose a high-quality cut like ribeye or sirloin for rich flavor and juicier results that elevate the entire dish.
- Use room temperature butter for smoother, more evenly distributed garlic spread that coats the bread perfectly.
- Experiment with cheese varieties like provolone or Swiss for unique flavor profiles that complement the steak’s richness.
