Equipment

  • 1 large skillet for sautéing the filling
  • 1 oven preheated to 400°F for baking
  • 1 rolling surface lightly floured for dough preparation
  • 1 baking sheet lined with parchment paper
  • 1 pastry brush for applying egg wash

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb thinly sliced beef ribeye or sirloin
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder optional
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional
  • 1 batch pizza dough ~1 lb
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded provolone or cheddar cheese optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Sauté sliced onions and bell peppers for 4 to 5 minutes until softened.
  • Add thinly sliced beef, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, then cook until beef is browned.
  • Remove skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  • Stir in shredded mozzarella and optional provolone or cheddar cheese.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12 by 16 inch rectangular shape.
  • Spread the beef and vegetable filling evenly on one side of the dough, leaving a 1 to 2 inch border.
  • Carefully roll the dough over the filling, tucking edges in as you go, forming a sealed log.
  • Pinch the seam and ends of the dough to fully seal the stromboli.
  • Place the stromboli seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Brush the top with beaten egg to create a golden, shiny crust.
  • Optionally, make small slits on top to allow steam to escape during baking.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Let the stromboli rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
  • Serve with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping if desired.

Notes

  • Mix different cheeses like provolone or cheddar for extra flavor.
  • Add mushrooms, spinach, or jalapeños to the filling for variety.
  • Prepare ahead by assembling and refrigerating or freezing before baking.
  • Use either store-bought or homemade pizza dough as preferred.
