For the Dough
- 1 lb store-bought pizza dough (or homemade dough)
- Flour for dusting
For the Filling
- 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Assembly
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp water
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
- Prepare the Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle about 12×16 inches, ensuring an even thickness for consistent cooking.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Steak: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and increase heat to medium-high. Add the thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak. Season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and optional red pepper flakes. Cook until browned and just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Stromboli: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Layer the cooked steak over the vegetables, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly on top.
- Roll and Seal: Carefully roll the dough from one long side to the other, forming a tight log. Pinch and seal the edges to prevent filling from leaking. Place the stromboli seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create the egg wash. Brush this mixture evenly over the stromboli’s surface for a beautiful golden crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Let the stromboli cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute ribeye with sirloin or even flank steak if preferred.
- For a spicier stromboli, increase the red pepper flakes or add sliced jalapeños to the filling.
- If you want to make it ahead, assemble the stromboli and refrigerate it up to a day before baking.
- Ensure the dough is sealed properly to prevent any cheese leak during baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in an oven for best texture.
