Directions:

Prepare the filling:

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak until browned, then remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, cook the shrimp, onion, bell pepper, and garlic until the shrimp are pink and the vegetables are tender.

Brush the top of the filled bread with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is crispy and the filling is bubbly.

Serve:

Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy!

Note: Put the hollowed-out bread pieces on the side of the baking tray and drizzle with extra butter and parsley, or sprinkle with your favorite savory toppings.
