1. Smoke Craft Cheesesteak Garlic Bread

Ingredients

• 1 large garlic loaf or baguette
• 3 tbsp butter, softened
• 2 tsp BlixSam Garlic Melt
• Fresh parsley, finely chopped

• 500 g beef sirloin or rump, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp BlixSam Dop ’n Tjop
• 1 green pepper, sliced
• 1 red pepper, sliced
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ cup BlixSam Smoke Craft Smoky Sweet BBQ Sauce
• Salt and black pepper to taste

• 2 cups grated mozzarella, provolone or cheddar
• Extra Smoke Craft Sauce for drizzling
• Fresh parsley

Method

1. Prepare the garlic bread: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Mix the softened butter with Garlic Melt and parsley. Slice the loaf lengthways and generously spread the butter over the cut sides. Toast for 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp.
2. Sear the steak: Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season the steak with Dop ’n Tjop and sear quickly until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Caramelise the vegetables: Add the peppers and onion to the same pan. Cook for 5–6 minutes until softened with slightly charred edges. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
4. Add the Smoke Craft: Return the steak to the pan. Pour in Smoke Craft Sauce and toss over high heat for 2–3 minutes, until everything is coated in a glossy, smoky glaze.
5. Load the bread: Spoon the cheesesteak mixture generously over the toasted garlic bread.
6. Cheese it up: Cover with grated cheese and return to the oven for 5–7 minutes, until melted, bubbling and lightly golden.
7. Finish: Drizzle with extra Smoke Craft Sauce, scatter over fresh parsley and slice into generous portions.
