Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 14 ounces (397 grams) shaved steak
- 1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 small sweet onion, finely diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Remaining Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 16 ounces (454 grams) (2 tubes) crescent rolls
- 1 1/2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- 1 large egg
- Splash of water
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a workspace for assembling the crescent ring.
- Sear the shaved steak in a hot skillet with vegetable oil over medium-high heat, breaking it apart and cooking until thoroughly browned and crispy, approximately 8 minutes. Transfer the cooked steak to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté diced onions and bell peppers, stirring occasionally until they develop a golden color and become tender, about 8 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds to release aromatic flavors.
- Reintroduce the cooked steak to the vegetable mixture, then incorporate Worcestershire sauce and Montreal steak seasoning, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and seasoned.
- Create a sunburst pattern on the prepared baking sheet by arranging crescent roll triangles in a circular formation, slightly overlapping each triangle and leaving space in the center.
- Distribute the steak and vegetable mixture evenly around the base of the crescent rolls, then generously sprinkle shredded provolone cheese over the filling.
- Carefully fold the pointed ends of the crescent rolls over the filling, tucking and securing the tips underneath to create a sealed ring.
- Whisk an egg with a small amount of water to create an egg wash, then brush the mixture over the exposed crescent dough. Optional: Garnish with dried parsley for additional flavor and visual appeal.
- Bake the crescent ring for 20-25 minutes until the pastry achieves a rich, golden-brown color. Remove from the oven, slice into portions, and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Slice steak paper-thin for maximum tenderness and even cooking, ensuring each bite is perfectly uniform and melts in your mouth.
- Switch out traditional steak for plant-based alternatives like seitan or jackfruit for a vegetarian version that maintains the classic cheesesteak flavor profile.
- Enhance flavor depth by letting the steak and vegetable mixture rest for 5-10 minutes before assembling, allowing seasonings to fully penetrate the ingredients.
- Use low-moisture mozzarella as a budget-friendly cheese substitute that still delivers delicious melty texture and complementary taste to the filling.
