Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1/2 pound (0.5 lb) thinly sliced steak (ribeye or sirloin)
- 2 tablespoons (2 tbsp) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, diced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Dough and Coating:
- 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) olive oil
Instructions
- Sizzle beef strips in a hot skillet with olive oil until caramelized and browned, then transfer to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, sauté bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms until tender and translucent, seasoning with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Reintroduce beef to the vegetable mixture, gently combining ingredients, then allow to cool slightly.
- Warm the oven to 375F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or light grease.
- Stretch pizza dough into a rectangular shape on a flour-dusted surface, creating an even, thin base.
- Slice the dough into 6-8 uniform strips, maintaining consistent width.
- Distribute the beef and vegetable mixture along one half of each dough strip, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Generously sprinkle shredded cheese over the filling.
- Fold the empty dough half over the filling, pressing and crimping edges to create a secure seal.
- Transfer stuffed breadsticks to the prepared baking sheet.
- Whisk melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning, then brush across the breadstick surfaces.
- Dust the tops with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor and texture.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until breadsticks transform into a golden, puffy masterpiece.
Notes
- Choose lean, thinly sliced steak like sirloin or ribeye for the most tender and flavorful filling, ensuring maximum juiciness and easy chewing.
- Drain excess moisture from vegetables after sautéing to prevent soggy breadsticks and maintain a crispy texture.
- For gluten-free adaptation, swap regular pizza dough with cauliflower or gluten-free pizza crust, keeping the delicious filling intact.
- Experiment with cheese varieties like provolone, Swiss, or pepper jack to create unique flavor profiles and personalize the recipe to your taste preferences.
