Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cheese and Dough
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Toppings
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the breadsticks evenly and achieving a golden crust.
- Cook the Steak: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced flank steak and cook for 2–3 minutes until it is nicely browned but still tender.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet with the steak. Sauté the mixture for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and fragrant. Season everything with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a flat surface to an even thickness. Cut the dough into 2-inch wide strips for stuffing.
- Assemble Breadsticks: Spoon the steak and vegetable mixture along the center of each dough strip. Sprinkle freshly shredded mozzarella cheese over the filling, then carefully roll up each strip tightly to enclose the filling inside. Place the rolled breadsticks seam side down onto a greased baking sheet.
- Add Toppings: Brush the tops of the rolled breadsticks with melted butter. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and garlic powder evenly over the breadsticks to add flavor and create a richly seasoned crust.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes until the breadsticks turn golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious appetizer or snack experience.
Notes
- For best texture, use fresh mozzarella or low-moisture mozzarella cheese.
- You can substitute flank steak with ribeye or sirloin if preferred.
- If you want extra spice, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the filling.
- Make sure to roll the breadsticks tightly to avoid filling leakage during baking.
- These breadsticks can be frozen before baking; bake from frozen and add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- Serve with a side of marinara or ranch dressing for dipping.
