## How to Make Steak and Cheese Garlic Toast
## Ingredients :
– 1 lb flank steak
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 loaf of French bread
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tbsp butter, softened
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
## Directions :
1. Prep the flank steak by seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook the steak in a skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side or until done to your liking. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
2. While the steak is cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the French bread loaf into 1-inch thick slices. In a bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic. Spread this mixture generously over each slice of bread.
3. Assemble the garlic toasts by placing them on a baking sheet. Top each slice with a generous portion of sliced steak. Sprinkle both the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the steak.
4. Bake the toasts in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Finally, remove the toasts from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot!
