Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the loaf of bread lengthwise, leaving a small hinge at the back.
Hollow out the center of each bread half to make space for the filling.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes until browned. Season with salt and pepper.
Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until vegetables are softened.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce and remove from heat.
In a small bowl, mix butter with garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Spread the mixture evenly on the inside of both bread halves.
Fill the hollowed-out bread with the steak and vegetable mixture. Top with shredded cheese.
Close the loaf and wrap it in aluminum foil. Bake for 15-20 minutes until bread is crispy and cheese is melted.
Unwrap the loaf and bake for an additional 5 minutes to crisp up the top.
