1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough

Directions

- Layer the sliced American cheese over the beef mixture.
- Roll up the dough tightly like a jelly roll, sealing the edges and pinching the ends.

- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the stromboli rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1-inch pieces.

Storage/Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10–12 minutes for best results. Avoid the microwave if possible to preserve the crispy crust, but if you do, microwave in short bursts to avoid sogginess.
FAQs
Can I Use Fresh Beef Instead Of Frozen Steaks?
Yes, thinly slice fresh ribeye or sirloin and cook just as you would the frozen steaks.
What’s The Best Cheese For Cheesesteak Stromboli?

How Do I Prevent The Dough From Getting Soggy?
Let the meat mixture cool slightly and avoid overfilling. Bake until golden for a crisp crust.
