How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Pizza Rolls: Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Veggies and Steak

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of butter.
2. Add the thinly sliced steak and sauté until it’s cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they start to soften.

Step 2: Assemble the Pizza Rolls

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to form a rectangle (about 12×9 inches). If you’re using store-bought dough, it might come in a pre-shaped rectangle, which makes this step easier!
3. Layer the Filling:
   • Spread a thin layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough.
   • Evenly distribute the sautéed steak, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms on top.
   • Add a generous layer of provolone cheese slices over the steak and veggies.
4. Roll it Up: Starting at one edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, ensuring the filling stays inside. Pinch the ends to seal.
5. Slice the Rolls: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the rolled dough into 8 even pieces.

Step 3: Bake the Pizza Rolls

1. Prepare the Rolls for Baking: Place each pizza roll onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them out a little to allow room for expansion as they bake.
2. Brush with Butter: Melt a tablespoon of butter and brush it over the tops of the pizza rolls. This will give them a golden, crispy crust.
3. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pizza rolls are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
4. Cool Slightly: Let the rolls cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. This makes them easier to handle and enjoy!

How to Serve Philly Cheesesteak Pizza Rolls

These pizza rolls are super versatile and pair perfectly with a variety of sides:

• With Dipping Sauces: Serve with marinara, ranch, or garlic butter for dipping.
• As a Main Dish: Serve them with a simple side salad or crispy fries for a full meal.
• Great for Parties: These are perfect as finger foods at any gathering.

Step 4: Storing and Reheating the Philly Cheesesteak Pizza Rolls

Storing:

• Unbaked Rolls: If you want to make these in advance, you can assemble the rolls, slice them, and refrigerate them. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, simply remove the rolls from the fridge and bake as directed.
• Leftover Baked Rolls: Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheating:

• In the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the leftover pizza rolls on a baking sheet and heat for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through.
• In the Microwave: If you’re in a rush, you can microwave the rolls on a microwave-safe plate for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, but note that they might not stay as crispy.

Tips and Tricks for Success

• Don’t Overfill: Be careful not to overstuff the rolls, as too much filling can cause them to burst open while baking.
• Seal the Edges Well: Pinch the edges of the dough tightly to ensure the filling stays inside while baking.
• Use Fresh Dough: If you’re making homemade dough, let it rest after rolling it out to prevent it from shrinking when you roll it up.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the pizza rolls in advance, refrigerate them, and bake them when you’re ready to serve. Just make sure to cover them tightly with plastic wrap to prevent the dough from drying out.
