Ingredients
1 loaf crusty French bread
1 tbsp canola oil
1 lb beef steak, cut into small strips
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp sriracha hot chili sauce
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
1/3 c ketchup
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 c shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 c Provel ropes or shredded Provolone cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Start by heating up the bread loaf and cutting off the top third to create a ‘boat’ shape. Make sure to hollow out the inside leaving, about half an inch of bread on all sides.
In a skillet over high heat warm up some canola oil. Add the steak strips. Cook them for 5 to 7 minutes until they turn brown and get slightly crispy at the edges. Remove any moisture.
Now reduce the heat to low. Add garlic. Let it cook for around 30 seconds before mixing in soy sauce, sriracha, Worcestershire sauce, grated ginger and ketchup. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Allow this mixture to simmer for 5 minutes.
Take the bread ‘boat’ and evenly spoon the cooked steak mixture into it.
Next, sprinkle an ample amount of mozzarella cheese as well as Provel or Provolone cheese over the steak filling.
Place the filled bread on a baking sheet. Bake it in the oven for 15 minutes or until you see that the cheese has melted completely and is bubbling nicely.
During the last minute of baking turn on your broiler briefly just to give some browning effect on top of the cheese. Keep an eye, on it closely so that it doesn’t burn.
Once done baking remove from oven. Allow it to cool down for a minute or so. Then slice it up into serving portions while still warm.
Now you can savor your delightful Steak Stuffed French Bread!
