- Add the sliced steak to the pan, season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is cooked through and browned. If using, stir in Worcestershire sauce and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Assemble the Stromboli:
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle (about 12-14 inches long).
- Spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese on the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Evenly distribute the steak and vegetable mixture on top of the cream cheese.
- Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese (and mozzarella if using) over the top.
- Roll the Stromboli:
- Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully roll the dough into a log, enclosing the filling. Pinch the edges of the dough to seal it, then tuck the ends under to prevent the filling from spilling out.
- Transfer the rolled Stromboli to the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush and bake:
- Brush the top of the Stromboli with the beaten egg to give it a nice golden, crispy finish.
- Use a sharp knife to make a few small slits on top of the Stromboli to allow steam to escape while baking.
- Bake the Stromboli in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve:
- Once baked, remove the Stromboli from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice it into 1-inch thick pieces.
- Serve with marinara sauce or cheese sauce for dipping, if desired.
Tips:
- Add-Ins: You can customize the filling by adding sautéed mushrooms, jalapeños, or even some cooked bacon for extra flavor.
- Cheese: Provolone is the classic choice for Philly cheesesteaks, but you can mix in mozzarella or even cheddar for a different taste.
- Dough: If you’re short on time, using store-bought pizza dough works great, but homemade dough is always better for that fresh touch.
Enjoy your Philly Cheesesteak Stromboli—it’s the perfect combination of savory steak, melted cheese, and crispy bread!
