Recipe: Mozzarella Cheesesteak Stromboli
Ingredients:

• 1 (13.4 oz) Pillsbury classic pizza dough, refrigerated
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• 1½ lb grilled sirloin steak, roughly chopped
• Olive oil
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1½ tsp dried Italian seasoning, divided
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• Black pepper, to taste
• ⅓ cup prepared Parmesan-Peppercorn salad dressing
• 1 Tbsp butter, melted
• 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silpat for easy cleanup.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle a bit of olive oil. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, seasoning with 1 tsp Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
3. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12 x 16-inch rectangle on a flat surface. Spread half of the shredded mozzarella evenly over the dough.
4. Layer the chopped grilled sirloin steak on top of the cheese. Then, add the sautéed onion and bell pepper mixture over the steak.
5. Drizzle the Parmesan-Peppercorn dressing across the top and sprinkle with the remaining shredded mozzarella.
6. Start rolling the dough from the wider side, keeping the filling intact, and finish with the seam side down. Carefully transfer it onto the prepared sheet pan.
7. Brush the top and sides of the stromboli with the melted butter. Sprinkle the remaining ½ tsp of Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and grated Parmesan on top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until the stromboli is golden brown. Once done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Each slice offers a perfect combination of textures and flavors—the crispy dough, melted mozzarella, savory steak, and the subtle heat from the garlic salt and Italian seasoning. This Mozzarella Cheesesteak Stromboli is ideal for a family dinner, game day snack, or even as a party appetizer.

This dish embodies the ultimate comfort food—simple, cheesy, and bursting with flavor. Serve it with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, or enjoy it as is. No matter how you slice it, this stromboli will leave everyone asking for seconds.

The Mozzarella Cheesesteak Stromboli is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that combines elements of the classic cheesesteak with the rich, cheesy goodness of stromboli. Made with Pillsbury pizza dough, shredded mozzarella, and a savory mix of grilled sirloin steak, onions, and bell peppers, this recipe is a guaranteed hit for family dinners or game-day snacks.
