Ingredients
For the Breadsticks:
- 1 lb (450g) pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ lb (225g) thinly sliced steak (ribeye or sirloin recommended)
- ½ cup (80g) sliced onions
- ½ cup (80g) sliced green bell peppers
- 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For Brushing & Garnish:
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp dried parsley (optional)
For Dipping (optional):
- Warm marinara sauce
- Nacho-style cheese sauce
Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Sauté the Steak & Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the thinly sliced steak and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
Add the sliced onions and green bell peppers. Sauté for an additional 3–5 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
2️⃣ Roll Out the Pizza Dough
On a clean, floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about ¼-inch (0.6 cm) thick.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut into 6 to 8 equal strips, depending on your desired breadstick size.
3️⃣ Assemble the Breadsticks
Place a generous line of the cooled steak-pepper mixture and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese down the center of each dough strip.
Fold the dough over the filling, pinch the seams to seal tightly, and roll gently into a log shape.
Place the breadsticks seam-side down on a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet.
4️⃣ Bake Until Golden
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Brush the tops of the breadsticks with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley if desired.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and cooked through.
5️⃣ Serve & Dip
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like marinara or cheese sauce.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overfill the breadsticks—a little filling goes a long way to avoid leaks.
- Use high-quality steak and slice it thinly for the best texture.
- Want to go spicy? Add some sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
- Make them ahead: Prepare and refrigerate the assembled (but unbaked) breadsticks for up to 1 day in advance.
Storage & Reheating
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–7 minutes, or air fry until crisp.
