Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk the flour into the hot butter and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is pale and the raw flour taste is gone, about 1 minute. Whisk the milk into the flour mixture and cook until hot and thickened, 3 to 6 minutes. Add the provolone cheese, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and salt; stir until the cheese is fully melted. Set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until the meat is slightly firm and pink inside, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the meat to a plate.

Return the skillet to the heat and add the water; bring it to a boil while scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour the liquid from the skillet over the steak. Let the steak cool to room temperature; dice the meat and place it and any accumulated juices from the plate into a large bowl.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the onion and peppers in the hot oil until softened and slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir the onion and peppers into the beef in the bowl; season with salt and pepper.

Arrange the bread slices on the prepared baking sheets and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Flip the slices so the oiled sides face downward. Spread the cheese sauce generously onto each slice. Spoon the beef mixture on top. Sprinkle with provolone cheese.
