Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Filling:
- 1 lb beef steak, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
For the Breadsticks:
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and bell peppers. Sauté them for about 3-4 minutes until they become soft and slightly caramelized. The aroma of sizzling onions and peppers will already make your kitchen smell amazing!
Next, add the thinly sliced beef steak to the skillet. Season it with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and fully cooked. Once done, remove the skillet from heat and set the filling aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Roll Out the Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. If the dough keeps shrinking back, let it rest for a few minutes before rolling again.
Step 3: Fill and Fold
Evenly spread the cooked beef, onions, and peppers over half of the dough. Sprinkle a generous layer of mozzarella and provolone cheese on top. The combination of cheeses will create that delicious melty texture inside.
Carefully fold the other half of the dough over the filling and gently press the edges together to seal. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the filled dough into even breadstick-sized strips, about 1 inch wide.
Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection
Transfer the stuffed breadsticks to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle garlic powder and dried oregano over them for extra flavor.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. The irresistible smell of baked bread, garlic, and melted cheese will fill your kitchen!
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Let the breadsticks cool slightly before serving. You can serve them with a side of marinara sauce for dipping or enjoy them as they are. The crispy outside, cheesy inside, and flavorful steak filling make every bite absolutely delicious!
Helpful Tips
- Use thinly sliced beef – Ribeye or sirloin works great. If slicing at home, place the steak in the freezer for about 30 minutes before cutting to make it easier.
- Don’t overfill – Too much filling can make it hard to seal the dough properly, so spread it evenly.
- Brush with butter – This adds extra flavor and helps the breadsticks turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Customize the cheese – Feel free to swap provolone for cheddar or another cheese you love.
