Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough (13–14 oz)
- 1 lb thinly shaved beef steak
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
- ½ teaspoon dried Italian herbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sauté the vegetables: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion and cook until tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Cook the steak: Add the shaved beef, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the steak is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess liquid and allow the filling to cool slightly.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the pizza dough into a rectangle on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the provolone slices over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Add the filling: Spread the steak, pepper, and onion mixture evenly over the cheese.
- Roll the Stromboli: Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a log. Tuck in the ends and pinch all the seams closed. Place it seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Brush and season: Brush the top with the egg wash and sprinkle with dried Italian herbs. Cut a few small slits across the top to allow steam to escape.
- Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Rest and serve: Let the Stromboli rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm while the cheese is still melted and gooey.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with marinara sauce for dipping, a fresh green salad, or crispy potato wedges.
Tips for the Best Stromboli
- Let the filling cool slightly before adding it to the dough to prevent a soggy crust.
- Avoid overfilling the dough so the Stromboli rolls easily and stays sealed.
- Pinch the seams firmly to keep the melted cheese and juices inside.
- Allow the Stromboli to rest before slicing for cleaner, neater pieces.
