A savory and satisfying twist on a classic sandwich—featuring thinly sliced beef, melty cheese, and sautéed veggies all rolled up in golden, crispy pizza dough. Perfect for game day, dinner, or a snack!
 Ingredients (US Cup Measures):
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (enough for two strombolis)
- 1 lb roast beef or sandwich steak, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 jalapeños, sliced (optional, for heat)
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded or sliced
- 6 slices provolone cheese (optional, for extra cheesy goodness)
- 1 small jar sliced mushrooms, drained
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
 Instructions (Step-by-Step):
1. Prep the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Cook the Filling:
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions, green bell pepper, jalapeños, and mushrooms. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the sliced roast beef and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
3. Assemble the Stromboli:
On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 9×13 inches. Layer half the beef and veggie mixture down the center. Sprinkle with half the mozzarella and lay down three slices of provolone. Fold in the short sides and roll the dough lengthwise to seal. Pinch the seam to close and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and ingredients.
4. Apply Egg Wash:
Brush each stromboli with the beaten egg to promote a golden, glossy finish. Slice 2–3 slits on the top with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape during baking.
5. Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through. Rotate the pan halfway through if necessary for even browning.
6. Rest and Slice:
Remove from oven and let sit for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with dipping sauces if desired.

 Pro Tips:
Use Deli Meat: Thin-sliced deli roast beef is convenient and saves time without sacrificing flavor.
Cheese Variations: Substitute provolone or mozzarella with Swiss, Monterey Jack, or even pepper jack for extra flavor.
Dipping Sauces: Serve with marinara, ranch dressing, garlic butter, or chipotle mayo to complement the flavors.
Make Ahead: Strombolis can be assembled in advance and kept in the refrigerator (covered) for up to 12 hours before baking.
Storage & Reheating: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving, which can make the dough soggy.
Add Variety: Mix in sautéed spinach, caramelized onions, or roasted red peppers to switch things up.
Spice Level: Adjust the heat by increasing or decreasing jalapeños, or add a dash of crushed red pepper flakes to the filling.
Homemade Dough Option: For a homemade twist, use your own pizza dough recipe for added freshness and texture.
Presentation: Serve on a wooden cutting board with a drizzle of garlic butter and a sprinkle of Parmesan for a gourmet touch.
Freezing Tip: Bake, cool, then freeze individually wrapped slices. Reheat in oven at 375°F for 10–12 minutes for a quick meal or snack.
Keto/Low-Carb Option: Use low-carb dough or wraps and fill with extra meat and cheese for a grain-free version.
Serving Suggestion: Pair with a side salad, sweet potato fries, or coleslaw for a full meal.
