Thanks to Rhodes Bake N Serve for sponsoring today’s post! As always all opinions are my own! #Rhodes #frozendough
Right now everyone is trying the whole pantry living game! Because we live so far from town I feel like we pretty much live from whatever staples we have on hand all the time anyway. That’s why recipes like Breakfast Calzones, Breakfast Ham & Cheese Rollup, and Pizza Sliders are always on the menu around here!
It always cracks me up when I go to the internet to search for something like “Philly Cheesesteak” and the first thing it brings up is “Best Philly Cheesesteak Calzone near me”. Ummmm! The best steak and cheese calzone near me is the one I make myself!
Stromboli vs. Calzone
The hardest thing about making and sharing this recipe with you was trying to decide if it’s a Steak and Cheese Calzone recipe, or a Steak and Cheese Stromboli?
What’s the difference between a calzone and a Stromboli anyway? A calzone is made on a round piece of dough and folded over to make a half-moon. Stromboli has the ingredients spread over the dough and rolled up cinnamon roll style, but it isn’t cut into pieces until after it’s baked.
Ingredients for making Stromboli
Stromboli recipes can be as simple or as creative as you’d like! We like to keep things simple over here!
- Pizza Dough – Our favorite is using a loaf of frozen Rhodes bread. I always have it on hand and it tastes as close as homemade as you can get!
- Steak – I like using sliced deli roast beef, I know it’s not the authentic Philly Cheese meat, but it’s all beef, quick and easy, and it’s good enough for me! If you have a ribeye or skirt steak and you want to use it go ahead! You can also fry hamburger and use it if that’s what you in the freezer.
- Peppers – Use green, red, yellow, orange.
- Onions – I like sweet onions, but anything will be great! Use more if you love them!
- Mushrooms – I left them off because my family doesn’t like them! I’d add a bunch if it was completely up to me!
- Cheese – Sliced or grated will work. Provolone is classic. You can use whatever you have in the fridge though!
- Mayonaisse – Add a little garlic if you’d like
- Butter – Brush it on top of the stromboli before you bake it. Add garlic salt, parsley, and sesame seeds if you want.
How to make Cheesesteak Stromboli
STEP 1: Thaw bread dough and let rise according to package instructions
STEP 2: Dice onion, peppers, and mushrooms. Saute in a skillet with butter.
STEP 3: Roll bread dough out to a 12″ x 18″ rectangle. It doesn’t have to be perfect!
STEP 4: Mix mayonnaise with garlic. Spread over rolled out bread.
STEP 5: Add a layer of deli roast beef.
STEP 6: Add the onions, peppers, and mushrooms.
STEP 7: Add a layer of cheese.
STEP 8: Roll the stromboli up jelly-roll style. It will be easier to roll up tightly if you used shredded cheese. I used provolone slices and I folded the edges over the middle. It makes a shorter and wider roll, but that’s okay! Set it on a baking sheet.
STEP 9: Brush melted butter over the top of the roll. Sprinkle with parsley, garlic seasoning, and sesame seeds if desired.
STEP 10: Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
STEP 11: Cool for 5 minutes. Cut into 2-3 inch slices and serve.

Notes
CHEESE: You can use grated or sliced cheese. Provolone is traditional for Philly Cheese Steak. You can also use processed cheese such as Velveeta.
BEEF: I used sliced deli roast beef because it’s easy. If you have ribeye or another cut of steak you can slice it thinly and fry it to use.
