Ingredients

(Serves 6–8)

  • 1 lb (450g) pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • ½ lb (225g) thinly sliced steak (ribeye or sirloin), chopped into small pieces
  • ½ cup (80g) sliced onions
  • ½ cup (80g) sliced green bell peppers
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for seasoning)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings:

  • Additional mozzarella cheese (for extra cheesiness)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Marinara sauce or ranch dressing (for dipping)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak Filling

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and green bell peppers , and sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil . Increase the heat to medium-high and add the thinly sliced steak . Season with salt , pepper , and garlic powder (if using). Cook for 3–4 minutes, breaking the steak into smaller pieces with a spatula, until browned and cooked through.
  • Return the sautéed onions and peppers to the skillet, stirring to combine with the steak. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

3. Roll Out the Pizza Dough

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about 12×16 inches. The dough should be thin but not tearing.

4. Assemble the Breadsticks

  • Spread the cooled steak mixture evenly over one half of the rolled-out dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the steak mixture.
  • Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a large rectangle. Press the edges together firmly to seal, then use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.

5. Cut and Shape the Breadsticks

  • Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the stuffed dough into 12–16 strips, depending on how thick you want your breadsticks. Twist each strip gently to expose some of the filling and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

6. Bake

  • Brush the tops of the breadsticks lightly with olive oil (optional, for a golden crust). Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes , or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Add Finishing Touches

  • For an extra cheesy topping, sprinkle additional shredded mozzarella over the breadsticks during the last 2–3 minutes of baking.
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

8. Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve the Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks warm with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.

Tips for Success

  • Steak Options: Ribeye or sirloin works best for its tenderness and flavor, but you can also use thinly sliced flank steak or even ground beef for a quicker option.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the breadsticks up to a day in advance, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving for fresh, hot results.
  • Customize Your Fillings: Add mushrooms, jalapeños, or provolone cheese for extra flavor and variety.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–10 minutes to restore crispiness.
