# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and garlic powder if using until thoroughly combined.
02 -
Preheat oven to 200°C. Spread the garlic butter evenly over one side of each bread slice and arrange them buttered-side up on a baking tray. Bake for 6–8 minutes until edges are golden and crisp. Set aside.
03 -
Generously season steak on both sides with salt and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and butter, then sear steak for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness. Add Worcestershire sauce in the final minute, if desired.
04 -
Remove cooked steak from skillet and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain for optimal tenderness.
05 -
In the same skillet, sauté sliced onion and green bell pepper for 3–4 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
06 -
Arrange sliced steak atop each garlic toast. Sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese, and add sautéed onion and pepper if desired.
07 -
Transfer assembled toasts to oven and broil on high for 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
08 -
Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes if preferred. Serve immediately while hot.
# Notes:
01 -
Allow steak to rest before slicing to retain juices and maximize flavor.
