Description
Enjoy all the flavors of a classic Philly Cheesesteak wrapped in golden pizza dough! This Philly Cheesesteak Stromboli is loaded with tender beef, sautéed onions, melted cheese, and baked to perfection
Ingredients
- 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye steak (or shaved beef)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- ½ green bell pepper, sliced (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 sheet pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the Filling:
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add sliced onions and bell peppers, and sauté for 5–7 minutes until soft and golden.
- Add the thinly sliced steak to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and cook until browned. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Prepare the Dough: Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle (about 10×14 inches).
Layer the Ingredients:
- Place provolone cheese slices over the dough, leaving about 1 inch of border on each side.
- Spread the cooked steak and onion mixture evenly over the cheese.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
Roll and Seal: Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the ends and edges to seal.
Prepare for Baking:
- Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Brush with melted butter or egg wash and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Cut a few small slits on top to vent steam.
Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Cool and Slice: Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with cheese sauce, marinara, or garlic aioli for dipping.
Notes
- Use quality beef: Ribeye gives the best authentic cheesesteak flavor, but shaved sirloin works too.
- Don’t overfill: Too much filling can make it difficult to roll and cause leaks.
- Make ahead: Assemble, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 8 hours before baking.
- Reheat right: Warm leftovers in the oven at 350°F for a crisp crust — avoid microwaving.
- Add sauces: A drizzle of cheese whiz or creamy garlic sauce takes it to the next level.
