Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Thinly sliced steak (such as ribeye or sirloin)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 large Onion, thinly sliced
- 2 medium Bell peppers (any color), thinly sliced
- 200 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 600 grams Store-bought or homemade pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Flour (for dusting)
- 1 large Egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the thinly sliced steak with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the steak slices for 2-3 minutes until just browned. Remove the steak and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the sliced onions and bell peppers for about 5-6 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
Combine the cooked steak, onions, and bell peppers in a bowl. Let the mixture cool slightly.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle roughly 0.5 cm thick. Cut the dough into 8 equal-sized rectangular pieces.
Spoon a portion of the steak and vegetable mixture onto one side of each rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the filling.
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a pocket. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal each pocket.
Transfer the pockets to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to achieve a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pockets are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the cheesy steak sandwich pockets to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
