Ingredients
1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak
1 large bread bowl (sourdough or Italian)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1-2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for searing
Optional: Fresh herbs for garnish (e.g., parsley or thyme)
Instructions:
Prep the Steak:
Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes.
Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same skillet used for the steak, add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté over medium heat until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized, absorbing the flavorful steak renderings. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare the Bread Bowl:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Carefully hollow out the bread bowl, leaving a thick shell to hold the filling. You can save the removed bread to make breadcrumbs for another use.
Assemble the Dish:
Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain.
Layer the sliced steak inside the hollowed-out bread bowl, followed by the sautéed vegetables.
Generously top with shredded pepper jack cheese, ensuring the filling is well covered.
Bake:
Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and lightly golden.
Serve:
Carefully remove it from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
Sheed Tips:
