This scrumptious gooey family-style Mozzarella Cheesesteak Stromboli makes the perfect budget friendly meal. Filled with grilled steak, peppers and onion, it's perfect for stretching leftover grilled steak into another meal. Save money and time and feed a family of four a stromboli feast in 30 minutes.
Easy Mozzarella Cheesesteak Stromboli Recipe
We’re all mindful of how we spend money these days, especially with a hungry family to feed. Because of this, I find it helpful when grilling any variety of meats to prepare more than we need for our meal, so we can have a “round 2″ meal another day. Not only does it save money in the long run, but precious family time as well. Grilled sirloin can easily be repurposed into a completely different meal. Roll it up in pizza dough, then top with crisp cooked bell peppers and onions, and of course, gooey mozzarella cheese. While the stromboli bakes, toss together a salad filled with your choice of leafy greens and fresh crispy vegetables and you can have a perfect pairing on the table in around 30 minutes.
How to Make the Best Mozzarella Cheesesteak Stromboli Recipe
Family style Stromboli's speed up preparation and you can divide them according to how many serving are needed. Whether you serve them as a meal, small bite, or game day snack.
- Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Mozzarella Cheesesteak Stromboli: Refrigerated pizza dough (i.e. Pillsbury Classic) shredded mozzarella cheese, grilled sirloin steak, olive oil, sliced onion and green bell pepper, garlic salt, dry Italian seasoning, black pepper or red pepper flakes, Parmesan peppercorn salad dressing or similar, melted butter to brush the top and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Kitchen gadgets you'll need: A large sheet pan, sharp knife and chopping board, a skillet and large spoon, cheese grater, measuring cups and spoons, a pastry brush and mixing bowl.
- This cheesesteak stromboli is made with previously grilled steak. It's important that it not be overcooked to start with or it could be dry once assembled and baked in the pizza dough. It should also be cooled.
- If you're unable to find Parmesan peppercorn salad dressing you can use a bottled Caesar dressing, creamy Italian dressing or any similar dressing with the same flavor profile.
- You can slice this stromboli into thinner pieces and serve it as a small bite or in larger portions for a casual dinner. Pair it with a wedge salad or cucumber tomato onion salad and Parmesan rosemary roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
- Store leftover Mozzarella Cheesesteak Stromboli chilled for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave.

Hello Melissa, just wondering .. can you freeze precooked ? How well does it hold up after thawing ?
Melissa
Hi Sherri, it's a great question, but I think it would freeze better after baking. Bake it, cool completely, wrap then freeze. Reheat from frozen in a 350°F oven until heated through. You may need to lay foil on top to prevent over browning.
Chris
Melissa, how many times do you roll this? Looks good!
Melissa
I can honestly say, I've never counted. Maybe 3 or 4 times?
Chris
Thank you,picking up the pizza dough today!
Melissa
You bet!

Made this for the second time tonight and it is great. I added mushrooms this time and it was yummy. I use my homemade pizza dough, and also made a pizza so dinner for tomorrow I swear also done. Thank you for the great recipe.
Melissa
Love it, thanks so much!
Denise CILIBERTI ROCCHIO
Mad this for dinner and it was a hit. Definitely will be a repeat. Lol
Melissa

Sue McCormack
Hi Melissa....is this rolled up like a jelly roll? Love your recipes....
Melissa
Hi Sue, yes it is. The refrigerated pizza dough actually cooks up best as it's designed to bake through easily. Should you choose to use homemade, make sure it's rolled thin so it will bake in the middle. Thanks so much!

Trying this now for Easter dinner since it is just my son and I. I used a little bit of Velveeta Queso Blanco on the bottom and Mozzerella on top. I wanted to use an actual Pizza crust but Publix was out of stock. They make them fresh. Results coming in 30 minutes!

Melissa
Thanks so much!
Charlyene
Did you cook the sirloin first or will it cook in the oven for 15-18 minutes
Melissa
Yes, the steak should be grilled to your taste. I typically over-cook for one meal and tuck enough steak away in the fridge to make this a day or so later. That way, since the steak is chilled it will gently reheat while the dough bakes and won't be over cooked.
