Ingredients
🧅 Filling
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 450 g beef steak strips (ribeye or sirloin recommended)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
🧀 Assembly
- 1 cup (100 g) grated provolone cheese
- 2 cans crescent roll dough
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Tools You’ll Need
- Large skillet
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Pastry brush
- Sharp knife
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook the Veggies
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onion, green, and red peppers. Cook for 5–7 minutes until softened and caramelized around the edges.
3. Cook the Steak
Push the veggies aside, then add steak strips to the same pan. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook 3–5 minutes until browned. Add Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Build the Crescent Ring
On your baking sheet, arrange the crescent roll triangles in a circle with their wide ends overlapping and the points facing outward — it should look like a sun.
5. Fill and Fold
Spoon the steak-and-pepper mixture around the circle’s base. Sprinkle with provolone. Gently fold the pointed ends over the filling and tuck them under to seal.
6. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and crisp with cheese bubbling at the seams.
7. Slice and Serve
Let the ring rest for a few minutes before cutting into slices. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm — perfect with ranch, cheese sauce, or even a drizzle of hot sauce.
What to Serve With It
- 🥗 Crisp salad with balsamic or ranch
- 🥒 Pickles or cherry peppers for a true Philly touch
- 🍟 Seasoned fries or onion rings for a complete meal
- 🧂 Dipping sauces like cheese whiz, au jus, or horseradish
Tips for Success
✨ Let your steak come to room temp before cooking — it sears better.
✨ Cool the filling slightly before wrapping — keeps the dough from getting soggy.
✨ Press seams tightly so the filling doesn’t escape while baking.
✨ Extra cheese = extra smiles (always).
Ingredient Swaps & Variations
- Swap steak for roast beef or chicken strips.
- Use mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack for a flavor twist.

Storage
- Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days in an airtight container.
