Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Lightly grease a 9×5″ loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, soak breadcrumbs in milk for 3–5 minutes until absorbed.
Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat; sauté finely chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic for 4 minutes until softened. Let cool slightly.
In large bowl, combine ground beef, soaked breadcrumbs, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and cooled sautéed vegetables. Mix gently until just combined.
Transfer mixture to loaf pan, pressing evenly and smoothing top.
Bake meatloaf for 45 minutes without opening oven.
While baking, heat skillet over medium-high heat; season sliced beef with salt and pepper, sear 3–4 minutes until browned. Keep warm covered.
In same skillet, sauté thinly sliced onion and bell pepper for 3 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from heat.
After 45 minutes, remove meatloaf from oven. Layer cooked steak slices evenly on top, then add sautéed onions and peppers.
Cover with provolone slices, overlapping to cover toppings.
Return to oven for 5–7 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles; optionally broil 1–2 minutes for golden top.
Rest meatloaf 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley and serve on hoagie rolls or mashed potatoes.

Notes

Swap provolone for Swiss or pepper jack cheese for variety. Add crushed red pepper flakes to meat mixture for heat. Make ahead by baking base, cooling, refrigerating, then finishing topping and baking when ready. For vegetarian, use lentil-walnut loaf and grilled portobello slices. If no loaf pan, shape on baking sheet and bake as directed.
