Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 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
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Dough & Topping
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the breadsticks to a golden brown.
- Cook the steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced flank steak and cook for 2–3 minutes until it is browned but still tender.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add the sliced onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet with the steak. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant. Season with salt and black pepper to taste and then remove from heat.
- Prepare the dough strips: Roll out your pizza dough on a flat surface and cut it into 2-inch wide strips, ready to be filled.
- Fill and roll the breadsticks: Spoon the steak and vegetable mixture along with shredded mozzarella cheese onto each dough strip. Roll the strips tightly to enclose the filling and place them seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
- Add toppings: Brush the rolled breadsticks generously with melted butter. Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese and garlic powder for extra flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the breadsticks for 12–15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
- Serve: Remove the breadsticks from the oven and serve warm alongside marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious, gooey appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced flank steak to ensure tenderness and quick cooking.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables—add jalapeños for heat or swap mushrooms for another favorite.
- For a crispier crust, you can brush the breadsticks with garlic butter before baking.
- These breadsticks are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
- To make pizza dough from scratch, allow 1–1.5 hours for rising time.
