Ingredients

Ribeye Steak or Sirloin: This is the heart of any Philly cheesesteak. The tender, thinly sliced beef provides all the meaty, juicy flavor. Ribeye is classic, but sirloin works well too.

Onion and Bell Pepper: These add a sweet, caramelized depth and a pop of color. Essential for that authentic Philly taste.

Provolone Cheese and Mozzarella Cheese: A gooey, melty duo that gives the breadsticks their cheesy center. Provolone adds richness, while mozzarella brings that iconic cheese pull.

Pizza Dough: Your canvas! Soft enough to wrap around the filling but sturdy enough to hold it all in.

Butter and Garlic Powder: Brushed on top before baking, this mixture ensures a golden crust with irresistible aroma and flavor.

Parsley: Adds a fresh finish after baking and makes them visually appealing.

How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

Slice the steak thinly and season it well. Sauté it in a hot skillet until just cooked, then remove it. In the same pan, cook onions and bell peppers until tender. Mix them all together and let cool slightly.

Step 2: Roll Out the Dough

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Roll out your pizza dough into a large rectangle. Cut into strips about 4 inches wide.

Step 3: Assemble the Breadsticks

Place a generous spoonful of the steak and veggie mix onto the center of each dough strip. Top with provolone and mozzarella cheese. Fold the dough over and pinch to seal the edges.

Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection

Place the sealed breadsticks on a lined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter mixed with garlic powder. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top. Let cool for a few minutes, then serve with marinara or cheese sauce for dipping.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

You can switch up these Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks in fun and flavorful ways. Swap ribeye with ground beef or thinly sliced chicken for a lighter take. Prefer more veggies? Mushrooms, jalapeños, or even spinach can be added to the filling. For the cheese, cheddar or pepper jack will spice things up and add a sharp bite. And if you’re short on pizza dough, crescent roll dough or biscuit dough will do in a pinch.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

These breadsticks are fabulous on their own, but they truly shine with dips. A warm cheese sauce or classic marinara is ideal. Serve them as appetizers for a party or pair with a crisp side salad for a full meal. For a cozy comfort spread, try them alongside Creamy Garlic Chicken Breasts or a bowl of One-Pot Creamy Beef and Garlic Butter Pasta.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through and crispy. You can also microwave them for a quick bite, though the crust won’t be as crisp. These breadsticks also freeze beautifully—wrap each individually and thaw overnight before reheating.
