Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz ribeye steak, thinly sliced (or sirloin/flank)
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (whole milk preferred)
  • 6 slices provolone cheese (about 3 oz)
  • 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Sesame seeds or Italian seasoning (optional, for topping)
  • Marinara sauce, for dipping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until soft and lightly browned. Remove to a plate.
  3. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add thinly sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and sear for 2-3 minutes until just browned. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Stir in Worcestershire sauce if using. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 14×10 inches.
  5. Arrange provolone slices down the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Top with cooked steak, sautéed veggies, and shredded mozzarella.
  6. Fold the long sides of the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Tuck the ends under and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Brush the top with beaten egg. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or Italian seasoning if desired.
  8. Bake for 22-28 minutes, until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  9. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing crosswise into 1-2 inch pieces.
  10. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.

Notes

Freeze steak for 15 minutes before slicing for easier, thinner cuts. Don’t overstuff the stromboli to prevent leaks. Vent the dough with small slits before baking to let steam escape. Let rest before slicing for neat pieces. Use parchment paper for easy cleanup. For gluten-free or dairy-free, substitute with appropriate dough and cheese.
