For the Steak:

1 lb ribeye or flank steak

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Shrimp:

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tablespoon butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Filling:

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

1/4 cup sour cream

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1/4 cup parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

★Instructions

1. Prepare the Bread:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Cut the top off the loaf of bread and hollow out the inside, leaving about a 1-inch border. Set aside.

1. Cook the Steak:

• Season the steak with salt and pepper.
• In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Cook the steak to your desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare). Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly.

1. Cook the Shrimp:

• In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the shrimp, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

1. Prepare the Filling:

• In a large bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
• Fold in the sliced steak and cooked shrimp.

1. Assemble the Stuffed Bread:

• Spoon the steak and shrimp filling into the hollowed-out bread loaf.
• Place the top back on the loaf.

1. Bake:

• Wrap the stuffed bread in aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the bread is heated through and the cheese is melted.

1. Serve:

• Let the stuffed bread cool for a few minutes.
• Slice and serve warm.

Enjoy!
