Mozzarella Cheesesteak Stromboli is a delicious and satisfying dish that combines the classic flavors of a cheesesteak with the convenience of a rolled pastry. This savory treat is perfect for game days, family gatherings, or any time you’re craving something hearty.

Ingredients

1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak
1 small onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Marinara sauce for dipping

Directions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the Steak: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ribeye steak until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle.
  5. Assemble the Stromboli: Spread the cooked steak, sautéed onions, and bell peppers evenly over the dough. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  6. Roll and Seal: Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Pinch the seam to seal it.
  7. Prepare for Baking: Place the Stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with the beaten egg.
  8. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  9. Serve: Enjoy with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

FAQs

  1. Can I use pre-cooked steak?
    Yes, pre-cooked steak works well; just heat it through in the skillet before assembling.
  2. Is homemade pizza dough necessary?

  3. Can I freeze the Stromboli?
    Yes, you can freeze before baking. Wrap it tightly and bake from frozen, adding extra time.
  4. What if I don’t have marinara sauce?
    Any dipping sauce, such as ranch or garlic sauce, can be used as an alternative.
  5. How do I know when it’s done?
    The Stromboli should be golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped.
  6. Can I add more vegetables?
    Absolutely! Mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini would complement the filling nicely.
  7. What should I serve with it?
    A side salad or garlic bread makes a great accompaniment.
  8. Can I make this ahead of time?
    Yes, you can prepare it in advance and refrigerate it before baking.
  9. What type of skillet is best for cooking?
    A non-stick skillet works well, but cast iron can add extra flavor and heat retention.
  10. How can I make it gluten-free?
    Use gluten-free pizza dough and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free.
