Philly Cheesesteak Stromboli

Philly Cheesesteak Stromboli is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven to experience the perfect combination of crispy dough, melted cheese, and savory beef filling. Serve it with a side of marinara sauce or the remaining Parmesan-peppercorn dressing for dipping. This stromboli is great for casual family dinners or as a party appetizer. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the slices on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through. For added flavor, try incorporating sautéed mushrooms or using a mix of cheeses like provolone and mozzarella. For a spicier kick, add some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the beef mixture. If you prefer a lower-carb option, you can use a low-carb pizza dough. Culinary experts recommend letting the beef mixture cool slightly before assembling the stromboli to prevent the dough from becoming soggy. Additionally, cutting slits in the dough helps steam escape and ensures even cooking.
