Expert Tips
- Ribeye gives the most authentic and tender result, but sirloin works too.
- Don’t stir the beef immediately — letting it sear builds flavor.
- For extra cheesiness, add a layer of melted cheese sauce before baking.
- Toast the bread lightly before assembling if you want a crispier base.
- Try adding banana peppers or jalapeños for heat.
FAQs
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes! Provolone is traditional, but mozzarella, white American, or Monterey Jack all work great.
Can I make this ahead?
Yes — assemble everything except the final layer of cheese, refrigerate, then add cheese and bake when ready.
What bread works best?
A sturdy French loaf or Italian bread holds up perfectly under the toppings.
Can I use leftover steak?
Absolutely — slice it thin and reduce sauté time to avoid overcooking.
