Philly Cheesesteak Stromboli Roll Up

This Philly Cheesesteak Stromboli Roll-Up is a delectable take on the traditional Philly cheesesteak, which is encased in pizza dough that is golden and flaky. The Stromboli, which is loaded with tender beef, peppers and onions that have been sautéed, and gooey cheese that has melted, is an excellent choice for a heavy dinner, a snack on game day, or an appetizer at a party.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 12–15 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

250g (1/2 lb) beef steak (sirloin or ribeye), thinly sliced

1/2 cup green bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/2 cup onion, thinly sliced

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp black pepper

Salt to taste

For the Roll:

1 sheet of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup provolone or cheddar cheese (optional combo)

1 egg (for egg wash)

1 tsp Italian seasoning or oregano (optional)

Instructions:

Cook the Filling (5–6 mins)

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet.

Add sliced onions and peppers. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.

Add thinly sliced beef, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.

Sauté for another 2–3 minutes until beef is just cooked. Set aside to cool.

Prepare the Roll (5 mins)

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle (~10×12 inches).

Sprinkle mozzarella and provolone cheese evenly over the dough.

Spread the cooled beef mixture over the cheese.

Carefully roll the dough tightly from one long end to the other, jelly-roll style.

Seal the edge and ends well. Place seam-side down.

Beat 1 egg and brush the top of the roll for a glossy finish. Sprinkle Italian seasoning on top if desired.

Preheat Air Fryer (2 mins)

Preheat air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 2 minutes.

Air Fry the Stromboli (12–15 mins)

Lightly spray the air fryer basket or use parchment paper.

Place the Stromboli roll inside (cut into 2–3 pieces if your fryer is small).

Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway if needed.

Cook until golden brown and the dough is fully cooked through.

Optional Garlic Butter Finish:

Mix 1 tbsp melted butter with a pinch of garlic powder and parsley.

Brush on top after air frying for extra flavor!

Serving:

Let rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing.

Serve with marinara, ranch, or cheese dip on the side.

Tips:

Make sure filling is not too wet—cool it fully to avoid soggy dough.

Thin-sliced deli roast beef can be used in a pinch.

Great for freezing: roll, freeze unbaked, then air fry straight from frozen (add 3–4 extra minutes).

Q/A:

Q: Can I use puff pastry instead of pizza dough?
A: Yes, but reduce the air fry time to 10–12 minutes and ensure the filling is cool to avoid sogginess.

Q: How do I make it spicy?
A: Add sliced jalapeños or crushed chili flakes to the filling.
