Ingredients
Scale
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
Instructions
- Prep the Filling: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions, bell peppers, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are caramelized and tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the steak slices over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Remove and set aside.
- Roll Out the Dough: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12 by 16-inch rectangle, ensuring even thickness for uniform baking.
- Layer the Goodness: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges. Next, evenly distribute the cooked steak slices and caramelized vegetable mixture on top of the cheese layer.
- Roll It Up: Starting from the long side of the rectangle, tightly roll the dough into a log shape, pressing edges together to seal completely to prevent filling from escaping during baking.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush this over the entire surface of the dough for a glossy golden finish. Cut 3 to 4 slits on top to allow steam to escape while baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
- Rest & Slice: Remove stromboli from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding mushrooms or spinach to the filling.
- Don’t overfill the stromboli to avoid burst seams during baking.
- Use freshly grated mozzarella cheese for better melting and flavor.
- The egg wash ensures a beautiful, shiny, golden crust.
- Leftover stromboli can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to restore crispness.
