Instructions

Remove pizza dough from refrigerator 30 minutes before use to bring to room temperature for easier rolling.

Preheat oven to 425°F and line large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

Add sliced onions and bell peppers to hot oil, cooking 8-10 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.

Add minced garlic to vegetables and cook additional 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly.

Season vegetable mixture with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then transfer to bowl and set aside.

In same skillet, add remaining oil and increase heat to high for proper steak searing.

Add thinly sliced steak to hot skillet, cooking 3-4 minutes without stirring for good browning.

Season steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika while cooking.

Stir steak and cook additional 2-3 minutes until just cooked through but still tender.

Add Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and butter to steak, stirring to coat and create flavorful glaze.

Return cooked vegetables to skillet with steak, tossing gently to combine all flavors.

Remove filling from heat and let cool slightly while preparing dough to prevent melting cheese prematurely.

On floured surface, roll pizza dough into large rectangle approximately 12x16 inches for proper filling space.

Spread softened cream cheese evenly over dough, leaving 1-inch border on all sides for sealing.

Layer half the mozzarella cheese over cream cheese, creating base layer for filling adhesion.

Distribute cooled steak and vegetable mixture evenly over cheese, keeping filling centered for even rolling.

Top with remaining mozzarella, provolone slices, and grated Parmesan cheese for maximum cheese factor.

Starting from long side, carefully roll dough tightly, pinching seams closed to prevent filling leakage.

Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet, tucking ends under and shaping into neat log.

Brush entire surface with egg wash mixture for golden brown, glossy finish during baking.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds, garlic powder, and coarse salt for added texture and flavor.

Using sharp knife, cut 4-5 diagonal slashes on top to allow steam to escape during baking.

Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F for food safety.

Let rest 5 minutes before slicing to allow cheese to set slightly and prevent excessive oozing.

Slice with serrated knife into thick portions, garnishing with fresh parsley before serving hot.
