Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Sauté the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sliced onions and peppers in a small amount of oil until softened (about 5–6 minutes).
Add the thinly sliced steak, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink (2–3 minutes).
Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Roll Out the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle (about 10×14 inches).
Cut into 4–6 equal strips (depending on how thick you want the breadsticks).
Step 4: Add the Filling
In the center of each strip, layer the cooked steak mixture, mozzarella, and provolone cheese.
Step 5: Fold & Seal
Carefully fold the dough over the filling lengthwise and pinch the edges to seal.
Place each breadstick seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6: Brush with Butter & Bake
Mix melted butter with garlic powder, then brush over the tops of the breadsticks.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Step 7: Serve
Let cool slightly, slice, and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
