Philly Cheesesteak Pizza Roll

Philly Cheesesteak Pizza Roll

My kids devour Philly Cheesesteaks so when I saw this recipe I thought it was the perfect dinner with a few adaptations.  My kids do not like mushrooms, but you can add sauteed mushrooms if you prefer.

Recipe adapted from Food Network

Ingredients:

1 store bought container thin pizza dough

1 pound beef flank steak

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided

Salt and pepper

1 bell pepper sliced

1 sweet onion sliced

2 garlic cloves minced

8 ounces shredded provolone cheese

1 egg beaten

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly flour a baking sheet.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium heat.  Cook the steak for 6-8 minutes flipping over halfway through.  Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Transfer steak to a plate lined with paper towels.  Freeze the steak for 10-20 minutes to make it easier to slice thin.
  4. Sauté the peppers, onion, and garlic over medium heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat for 5 minutes mixing often.
  5. Slice the steak as thinly as possible.  I used kitchen shears to cut it into strips.
  6. Roll out the pizza dough on the baking sheet.
  7. Place a layer of steak on the pizza dough leaving a 1 inch border on all sides.
  8. Spread vegetables over the steak.
  9. Sprinkle cheese over the steak and vegetables.
  10. Starting from the short side, tightly roll the dough like a jelly roll.
  11. Use your fingers to pinch closed the seams.
  12. Beat 1 egg in a small bowl.  Use a pastry brush to egg wash the dough.
  13. Sprinkle garlic powder on the roll.
  14. Bake 20-25 minutes.
  15. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
  16. Cut into slices.
  17. Enjoy!
