Ingredients (Serves 2-4)

- 1 cup shredded mozzarella & cheddar cheese mix
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp red chili flakes (optional, for spice)
How to Make It
Step 1: Prep the Bread
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Slice off the top of the baguette and hollow out the inside, creating a “boat.”
- Lightly brush the inside with melted butter and place it in the oven for 5 minutes to crisp up.
Step 2: Cook the Steak & Veggies
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Slice the steak into thin strips and add to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned but still juicy.
Step 3: Assemble the Bread Boat
- Remove the bread from the oven and fill it with the steak mixture.
- Top with loads of shredded cheese and a sprinkle of red chili flakes for extra heat.
- Place the bread boat back in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Step 4: Slice & Serve
- Let it cool slightly before slicing into portions.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like garlic mayo, spicy ketchup, or mustard.
