Notes
Serve Steak Stuffed French Bread hot to enjoy the full flavor of the melted cheese and tender steak. Pair it with a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or crispy fries for a complete meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes to maintain the crispiness of the bread and warmth of the filling.
