Ingredients
Scale
Stromboli Filling
- 1 lb roast or sandwich steak, sliced thin
- 1 medium onion, sliced thin
- 1/2 green bell pepper, sliced thin
- 2 jalapeños, seeded and sliced (optional, spicy)
- 1 small jar sliced mushrooms
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded or sliced
- 6 slices provolone cheese (optional)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Dough and Finishing
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (makes 2 strombolis)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare and Sauté Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Place the thinly sliced steak into the pan, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook the steak for 2-3 minutes until browned. Then add the sliced onions, green bell pepper, jalapeños (if using), and mushrooms. Sauté everything together for another 2-3 minutes, until the onions are lightly browned but not overcooked, as they will continue cooking in the oven.
- Assemble the Stromboli: Using a rolling pin, roll out one pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 9 x 13 inches. Spoon the steak and vegetable mixture evenly down the center of the dough, leaving about a ½ inch margin on all sides to allow for sealing. Layer the mozzarella and provolone cheese over the steak mixture. Fold the sides of the dough inwards, then tuck and carefully roll the dough over the filling to form a sealed loaf.
- Bake the Stromboli: Place the rolled stromboli loaf seam-side down on a greased baking sheet or one lined with aluminum foil. Brush the entire outside of the dough with the beaten egg for a glossy, golden finish. Cut thin 2-inch strips or slits across the top of the dough to allow steam to escape while baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven, slice, and serve immediately with dipping sauces such as ranch dressing or marinara sauce.
Notes
- Do not overcook the steak and vegetables during sautéeing as they will continue cooking in the oven and overcooking can make them tough.
- The jalapeños are optional and can be omitted or adjusted according to your spice preference.
- Using both mozzarella and provolone cheeses enhances the flavor and meltiness, but you can use only mozzarella if preferred.
- Make sure to seal the dough edges well to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- The stromboli is best served immediately for the freshest texture and flavor.
