Steak and Cheese Garlic Toast Recipe

ADVERTISEMENT

Sauté the Vegetables:
Begin by heating olive oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced white onions and sauté them for about five minutes until they become translucent and start to caramelize. The sweetness of the onions complements the richness of the steak, adding depth to every bite.

Add the Bell Peppers, Garlic, and Mushrooms:
Next, toss in the sliced green bell peppers, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are softened but still slightly crisp. The bell peppers bring a fresh, slightly sweet crunch, while the garlic infuses the mixture with its aromatic, savory essence. Mushrooms add a hearty texture and an earthy undertone that complements the rest of the ingredients beautifully.

Cook the Steak:
Now, it's time for the star of the dish—steak! Add the sliced steak to the pan, cooking it to your desired level of doneness. Whether you like your steak rare or well-done, make sure it's sliced thinly enough to cook evenly with the vegetables. Allow the steak to sear, developing that delicious crust while absorbing the flavors of the sautéed onions, peppers, garlic, and mushrooms. This mixture creates a mouthwatering filling for your garlic toast.

Prepare the Bread:
While the steak mixture is cooking, it’s time to get the bread ready. Take two slices of French bread or Texas toast—both are thick enough to hold the steak mixture and have the perfect texture for grilling. Spread butter on the outside of each slice to help it achieve a golden, crispy exterior. On the inside, generously spread a layer of mayo with olive oil and cracked black pepper. This small touch adds a subtle richness and tang that elevates the sandwich to the next level.

Assemble the Sandwich:
Lay two slices of provolone cheese on each slice of bread. The cheese will melt beautifully, creating a creamy, tangy contrast to the steak and vegetables. Once the steak mixture is done, divide it evenly between the two slices, layering it on top of the cheese. Close the sandwich and get ready for the final step—grilling.

Grill the Garlic Toast:
Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Carefully place the sandwich in the pan, pressing it slightly with a spatula to ensure even cooking. Grill each side for 2-3 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is fully melted. The outside will be buttery and crisp, while the inside remains warm, cheesy, and filled with juicy steak and vegetables. This combination of textures is what makes this sandwich so irresistible.
