½ tsp black pepper
20g butter, melted

Method
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
Slice the garlic bread lengthways to create two large halves.
Brush lightly with the melted butter and set aside.
Toss the steak strips with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the steak into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry at 200°C for 5–7 minutes, shaking halfway, until browned around the edges.
Mix the grated garlic into the melted butter and brush over the garlic bread.
Scatter half the mozzarella and cheddar over the bread.
Top with the cooked steak strips.
Add the remaining cheese generously over the top.
Return the loaded bread to the air fryer.
Cook at 180°C for 4–6 minutes until the cheese is fully melted, bubbling, and starting to brown.
Finish with caramelised onions, jalapeños, garlic mayo, or BBQ sauce if using.
Slice into thick portions and serve immediately while everything is molten.
