Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 lb refrigerated pizza dough
  • All-purpose flour, for dusting
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and green bell pepper. Sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  4. Add thinly sliced ribeye steak. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Cook, stirring often, until steak is just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed steak and veggies with shredded provolone and mozzarella. Toss until cheese is evenly distributed and starts to melt from the residual heat.
  7. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. On a lightly floured surface, roll or stretch pizza dough into a 12×16 inch rectangle.
  9. Cut dough into 8 equal strips, each about 2 inches wide.
  10. Spoon about 3-4 tbsp of the cheesesteak mixture along the center of each dough strip.
  11. Fold one side of dough over the filling, then the other, pinching well to seal the seam and ends. Place each breadstick seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  12. Brush the tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder. Lightly score the tops with a sharp knife for venting.
  13. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Tent loosely with foil if browning too quickly.
  14. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, slice steak very thin (freezing for 30 minutes helps). Don’t overstuff the breadsticks, and seal seams tightly to prevent cheese leakage. Let filling cool before stuffing. Use parchment for easy cleanup. Variations include using chicken, mushrooms, or gluten-free dough. Serve with marinara, ranch, or cheese sauce for dipping.
