Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 onions sliced
  • 2 green bell peppers sliced
  • 1 lb. tri-tip meat thinly sliced (or your preferred cut)
  • 1/3 cup Rondele Garlic and Herb Spread (or cream cheese or a flavored cream cheese)
  • 1 can Pilsbury Pizza Dough
  • 6 slices provolone cheese

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together. Add the sliced onions and sugar, stirring occasionally until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Then, toss in the sliced green bell peppers and sauté until they are softened, about 5 minutes more.
  2. Once the vegetables are ready, push them to one side of the skillet and add the thinly sliced tri-tip meat to the other side. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Mix the meat with the vegetables and remove the skillet from heat. Let it cool slightly.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, unroll the Pilsbury Pizza Dough. If it’s not already in a rectangle shape, use a rolling pin to gently stretch it out.
  4. Spread the Rondele Garlic and Herb Spread evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Layer the cooked meat and vegetable mixture on top, followed by the provolone cheese slices.
  5. Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Place the pinwheels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about an inch apart.
  6. Bake the pinwheels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.
  7. Once baked, remove the pinwheels from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy these scrumptious Cheese Steak Pinwheels with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, replace tri-tip with sautéed mushrooms or a plant-based meat substitute.
  • Use gluten-free pizza dough for a gluten-free version.
  • Wrap unbaked pinwheels in plastic wrap for freezing, baking from frozen adds time.
