## Instructions for Making Juicy Grilled Steak on Cheesy Garlic Bread
### Step 1: Prepare the Steak
1. **Season the Steak**: Pat the **ribeye steaks** dry with paper towels. Drizzle both sides with **olive oil** and rub it in. Sprinkle the **garlic powder**, **onion powder**, **salt**, and **pepper** evenly over both sides of the steaks. If you’re using **fresh rosemary**, chop it finely and sprinkle it over the steaks for added fragrance and flavor. For a touch of extra depth, you can drizzle the steaks with a little **Worcestershire sauce**.
2. **Preheat the Grill**: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot and evenly distributed for direct grilling.
3. **Grill the Steak**: Place the steaks on the hot grill. For a medium-rare steak, grill for **4-5 minutes per side**, depending on thickness. Adjust the grilling time to achieve your preferred doneness (longer for medium or well-done steaks). Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature—**130°F** for medium-rare, **140°F** for medium.
4. **Rest the Steak**: Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a juicier steak.
### Step 2: Make the Cheesy Garlic Bread
1. **Prepare the Garlic Butter**: In a small bowl, combine the **softened butter** and **olive oil**. Add the **minced garlic** and **dried oregano** (or Italian seasoning), and mix until well combined. For a bit of heat, sprinkle in **red pepper flakes**.
2. **Spread the Garlic Butter**: Spread a generous amount of the garlic butter mixture over one side of each **slice of bread**. Make sure the garlic butter is evenly distributed for maximum flavor.
3. **Top with Cheese**: Sprinkle the **shredded mozzarella cheese** and **freshly grated Parmesan cheese** evenly over the garlic buttered side of the bread.
4. **Toast the Garlic Bread**: Place the bread slices on the grill (or in a preheated oven) for **3-5 minutes** until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden and crispy. If using the grill, make sure the bread is placed away from direct flames to avoid burning. If using the oven, preheat to **400°F (200°C)** and bake on a baking sheet until golden.
### Step 3: Assemble the Dish
1. **Slice the Steak**: After the steaks have rested, slice them against the grain into thin strips. This ensures that the steak remains tender and easy to eat.
2. **Plate the Dish**: Place the **cheesy garlic bread** on a serving plate. Arrange the sliced **grilled steak** on top of the bread. If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of **fresh parsley** for color and freshness.
3. **Serve and Enjoy**: Serve immediately, and enjoy the perfect combination of juicy grilled steak and cheesy, garlic-infused bread!
