Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 grams) thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
- 4–6 slices provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup cheese whiz (optional)
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Oils:
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 375°F (190°C) and arrange crescent roll triangles on a baking sheet with wide ends converging at the center.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high temperature, then rapidly sear seasoned steak until barely browned, maintaining tenderness. Transfer meat to a separate plate.
- Using the identical skillet, sauté onions, green peppers, and minced garlic until they soften and develop a light caramelized exterior, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Layer thin strips of cooked steak onto each crescent triangle, followed by sautéed vegetable mixture and cheese slices.
- Carefully fold the outer edges of the triangles toward the center, creating an overlapping circular configuration with pointed tips meeting centrally.
- Slide the constructed ring into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, monitoring until the dough transforms into a rich golden hue and cheese completely melts.
- Remove from oven and allow the ring to rest for 3-4 minutes, enabling the ingredients to stabilize before slicing and serving while warm.
Notes
- Meat Selection: Choose lean, tender cuts like ribeye or sirloin for the most flavorful and juicy Philly Cheesesteak experience.
- Vegetable Prep: Slice onions and peppers thinly for even cooking and better distribution throughout the ring.
- Cheese Variation: Experiment with different cheese types like provolone, white American, or a blend for unique flavor profiles.
- Dietary Adaptations: Swap beef for chicken or plant-based protein, and use gluten-free crescent rolls to accommodate various dietary needs.
