• Pastry brush

• Sharp knife or pizza cutter

• Mixing spoon or spatula

How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Breadsticks

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

Step 2: Sauté the Veggies

In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing for 4–5 minutes until softened and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add the thinly sliced, cooked steak to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to warm the meat and combine the flavors. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Roll and Fill the Dough

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12×8-inch rectangle.

Spoon the steak mixture down the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the top evenly with mozzarella and provolone cheese.

Step 4: Shape and Slice

Carefully fold the dough over the filling, lengthwise, and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the log into individual breadsticks about 1 to 2 inches wide.

Step 5: Bake

Transfer the breadsticks to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle generously with garlic powder.

Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Let the breadsticks cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce—like ranch, garlic aioli, or marinara.

Delicious Pairings

These breadsticks go perfectly with:

• French fries or onion rings

• A cold beer or craft soda

• Pickles or jalapeños for a zesty kick

• A simple green salad for a fresh contrast

Tips and Tricks for Success

✅ Use High-Quality Steak
Thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin works best for flavor and tenderness. Leftover steak or deli-style roast beef also makes a great shortcut.

✅ Don’t Overfill
Too much filling can make it hard to seal the dough and may cause leaking. A thin, even layer is ideal.

✅ Make It Spicy
Add chopped jalapeños, crushed red pepper flakes, or pepper jack cheese for heat.

✅ Cheese Swap
Try cheddar, Swiss, or even pepper jack depending on your taste.

✅ Dip It Good
Serve with cheese sauce, BBQ, spicy mayo, or au jus for the full cheesesteak experience.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

Refrigerator: Store leftover breadsticks in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezer: Wrap cooled breadsticks in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 1 month.

To Reheat:

• In the oven: Bake at 350°F for 8–10 minutes.

• In the air fryer: Reheat at 350°F for 4–5 minutes.

• Avoid the microwave if possible—it can make the bread soggy.

FAQs

Can I use raw steak?

Yes, just slice it very thin and sauté it until fully cooked before mixing with the veggies.

Can I make this vegetarian?

Absolutely! Use sautéed mushrooms or a plant-based steak alternative instead of beef.

Can I use crescent roll dough instead of pizza dough?

Yes, crescent roll dough will make a flakier, buttery version—just be gentle when sealing and slicing.

Do I need to use both types of cheese?

No, but combining mozzarella and provolone gives you the best balance of melt and flavor. You can use all mozzarella in a pinch.
