Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Philly Cheesesteak Filling
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the thinly sliced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, or until softened and slightly caramelized. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced flank steak or ribeye. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
- Add the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce to the beef, stirring to coat the meat evenly. Add the sautéed onions and peppers back into the skillet and stir to combine everything. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Breadsticks
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Roll out the pizza dough onto a flat surface to form a rectangle. Use a rolling pin to stretch it out to about 12×10 inches.
- Spread the garlic powder and Italian seasoning evenly over the dough. Then, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 3: Stuff the Breadsticks
- Once the Philly cheesesteak filling has cooled slightly, spoon it evenly over the cheese on the dough. Be sure to spread it out evenly but not too thick—leave enough space at the edges for folding.
- Carefully roll up the dough, starting from one of the longer sides, like you would with a cinnamon roll. Make sure to roll it tightly to keep the filling in place.
Step 4: Slice and Bake the Breadsticks
- Once the dough is rolled up, use a sharp knife to slice it into 8-10 individual breadsticks, depending on how thick you want them.
- Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they’re spaced slightly apart. Brush the tops of each breadstick with the melted butter and sprinkle with a little more garlic powder and Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once baked, remove the breadsticks from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with a side of marinara sauce or extra cheese sauce for dipping, if desired. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Tips for the Perfect Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks
- Use Thinly Sliced Meat: For the best texture, use thinly sliced beef, such as flank steak or ribeye. If you’re in a rush, pre-cooked roast beef can work well as a substitute.
- Add Cheez Whiz: If you want a truly authentic Philly cheesesteak experience, swap the provolone cheese for Cheez Whiz. It gives the breadsticks that signature creamy cheesesteak flavor.
- Customize the Veggies: Feel free to add extra vegetables like mushrooms, jalapeños, or spinach to customize the filling to your taste.
- Serve with Dipping Sauce: These breadsticks are amazing on their own, but serving them with marinara sauce, cheese sauce, or even a bit of ranch dressing can take them to the next level.
