Ingredients:
- 1 loaf crusty French bread
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 lb beef steak, cut into small strips
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sriracha hot chili sauce
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup Provel ropes or shredded Provolone cheese
Instructions:
- Remove the top third of the loaf, creating a boat by cutting around the bread with a sharp knife. Leave about a half inch of bread all the way around.
- Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook until browned and slightly crispy on the edges, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Drain any moisture produced by the steak immediately. Reduce heat to low, add minced garlic, and cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in soy sauce, sriracha, Worcestershire sauce, ginger, and ketchup. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Spoon the beef mixture into the French bread boat. Top with shredded cheese and place on a large baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Turn on the broiler for the last minute to brown the cheese slightly. Keep a close eye on it as broilers are unpredictable.
