Instructions
Prepare your shaved steak in a saute pan drizzled with olive oil.
Add the beef and sprinkle on all the spices right onto the beef right in the pan and taste to your liking. Don't overcook the meat you just want the pink to disappear. Set aside and let it cool down.
Saute your green pepper strips in olive oil until soft .Set aside and cool down.
Roll out your pizza dough into a nice rectangle and spread half of the cheese on the bottom.
Add the beef, peppers and optional caramelized onions, evenly spreading it all over but leaving a border all around with no filing on it.
Top it with the remaining shredded cheese.
Carefully roll up the stromboli jelly roll style.
Place the roll on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Brush egg mixture all over top and sides then sprinkle on some sesame seeds and make 3 vent holes on top.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes until nicely golden on top and bottom, ovens do vary.
Let it rest before slicing it about 15 to 20 minutes.
Enjoy!
