1 lb pizza dough, at room temperature
1 lb thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until just browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and green bell pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until softened. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Return the steak to the skillet and toss with the vegetables. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 12 x 16 inches.
Spread the steak and vegetable mixture evenly over one half of the dough. Sprinkle mozzarella and provolone cheese on top.
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal.
Cut into 10 to 12 strips. Twist each strip gently and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool slightly before serving.
