Description
These Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks combine tender steak, sautéed onions & peppers, and hot melted cheese all wrapped up in golden, garlicky pizza dough. They’re perfect for game day, parties, or a fun dinner twist.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Optional: ¼ tsp chili powder for a kick
- Salt, to taste
- ½ – 1 cup thinly sliced cooked beef (ribeye, sirloin, or steak tips) — cooked and seasoned
- 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella (or blend)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
- Optional: sliced green bell pepper and onion, sautéed
- Dipping sauce: marinara, queso, or cheesy dip (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle (roughly 12×16‑inch or as fits your sheet).
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil and minced garlic. Brush this garlic oil evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle oregano, garlic powder, and salt over the dough. If using chili powder, sprinkle lightly as well.
- Spread half of the shredded cheese over the dough surface.
- Evenly distribute the cooked steak (and sautéed peppers/onions, if using) on top of the cheese.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the filling.
- Fold the dough over lengthwise (or fold edges in) so the filling is enclosed. Press down gently to seal.
- Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut into strips (breadstick width, e.g. 1 to 1½ inches wide) or twist the dough slightly for a spiral effect. Place each breadstick onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with a bit more olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. (Watch the bottoms to avoid burning.)
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with dipping sauce, if desired.
Notes
- You can precook and season the steak in advance to reduce prep. Use seasonings like salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce.
- If your steak slices are thick, slice them thinner or briefly sear so they heat through inside the breadsticks.
- Be careful not to overfill — too much filling can cause leaks. Seal edges well.
- Switch up cheese: use sharp cheddar, smoked gouda, or a blend if you prefer more flavor or stretchiness.
- These can be prepared ahead and baked right before serving to maintain best texture.
