A comforting and hearty casserole featuring tender ribeye steak, sautéed peppers and onions, and a creamy cheese sauce baked over cubed French bread. Perfect for busy weeknights or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium bell peppers, sliced (mix of red and green)
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced (yellow or white)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cups shredded provolone and mozzarella cheese blend
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 French bread or hoagie rolls, cubed (day-old preferred)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced ribeye in a single layer and cook about 2 minutes per side until browned but still juicy. Season with salt and pepper. Remove steak and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sauté bell peppers, onions, and garlic for 5-7 minutes until peppers are tender and onions translucent. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded provolone and mozzarella, milk, and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to reach a pourable consistency.
  5. Spread cubed bread evenly in the prepared baking dish. Layer sautéed peppers and onions over the bread, then top with seared ribeye slices.
  6. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the top, gently pressing down to soak the bread.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Slice ribeye thinly for tenderness and faster cooking. Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing steak to avoid steaming. Use day-old bread cubes to prevent sogginess. Rest casserole after baking to let flavors meld. Can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen unbaked for up to 2 months.
