Ingredients
Italian bread loaf: Choose a sturdy bakery loaf that will hold up to the filling without getting soggy
Thinly sliced beef: Ribeye or sirloin work best for authentic flavor but any quick-cooking cut will do
Bell peppers: The mix of colors adds visual appeal and slightly different flavor notes
Onions: These caramelize during cooking creating sweet depth that balances the savory meat
Provolone cheese: Its mild tanginess and excellent melting properties make it ideal but American cheese works too
Garlic butter: The aromatic compound butter adds richness and flavor to every bite
Salt and pepper: These basic seasonings enhance the natural flavors of the meat and vegetables
Fresh parsley: Adds brightness and color as a finishing touch
