What are Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks

Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks Recipe
Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Filling:
- 1lb (450g) ribeye steak (or shaved beef) sliced thinly.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced thinly.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
- 1 half- cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
- 6 slices provolone cheese (or 1 cup of shredded provolone)
For the Dough:
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional)
- Additional mozzarella as garnish.
Preparation of Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks.
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- Place olive oil in a large skillet and heat it on medium-high heat.
- Add onions and bell pepper sliced. Sauté 4-5 minutes until caramelized and tender.
- To one side of the pan, push the vegetables and place the sliced beef.
- Add salt, pepper, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce.
- Brown the beef and cook it between 3-4 minutes.
- Combine everything and take out of heat.
- It is better to allow the mixture to cool down a bit and then assemble it.
Pro Tip: It is better not to over cook the beef in order to preserve its tenderness and juiciness.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
- Warm your oven to 375 deg F (190 deg C).
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the pizza dough into a huge rectangle (an average of 10 x 14 inches).
When the dough goes back in the process of rolling, leave it to rest and take another 5 minutes to roll it again.
Step 3: Add the Filling
- Sprinkle the cooked beef mixture over half the dough.
- Spread provolone pieces on top of the beef.
- Top and bottom with generous sprinkling of mozzarella.
It is the cheese that gives it that characteristic sticky, stretchy tug when you slice the breadsticks.
Step 4: Fold and Seal
- Fold the remaining half of the dough on the filling.
- Close using edges.
- Crimp the edges with a fork in order to seal it.
- Cut even breadsticks (but do not separate them).
Step 5: Add Toppings & Bake
- Grease the top with the dripped butter.
- Sprinkle with garlic powder and add-in mozzarella.
- Cook 18-22 minutes or until brown and bubbly.
Allow the breadsticks to stand 5 minutes before slicing all the way to the end to avoid spilling of cheese.

The Best Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks Tips.
Use Thinly Sliced Beef
The genuine Philly cheesesteak is made of ribeye in thin cuts. When you cannot find the shaved beef, freeze your steak in 30 minutes and cut it with a knife into thin slices.
Don’t Overload the Filling
Excess filling may tear or leak the dough during baking.
Use the Right Cheese
The traditional taste is Provolone, and the final pull of the cheese is mozzarella. At the combination of the two, the best results are achieved.
Seal the Edges Well
Press and crimp well so as not to leak the cheese in the oven.
