Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 1 lb ribeye steak or flank steak, thinly sliced (or you can use cooked roast beef as a shortcut)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded provolone cheese (or a blend of provolone and mozzarella)

For the Dough:

  • 1 package of refrigerated pizza dough or puff pastry (or homemade dough if preferred)


Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare the Cheesesteak Filling:

    • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

    • Add the sliced onion and bell pepper (if using) and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

    • Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    • Add the sliced beef to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

    • Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce and cook for another minute to combine.

    • Remove from heat and set the filling aside to cool slightly.

    2. Prepare the Hot Pocket Dough:

    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

    • If using refrigerated pizza dough or puff pastry, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into rectangular pieces, each large enough to fold over and seal the filling inside (about 4×6 inches for each pocket).

    3. Assemble the Cheesesteak Hot Pockets:

    • Place a generous spoonful of the beef and onion mixture in the center of each dough rectangle.

    • Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese over the filling.

    • Carefully fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal the pocket completely. You can crimp the edges with a fork for extra security.

    • Place the filled pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    4. Bake the Hot Pockets:

    • Using a sharp knife or fork, make a small slit or poke a few holes on top of each hot pocket to allow steam to escape while baking.

    • Brush the tops of the hot pockets with a little olive oil or melted butter for a golden finish.

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pockets are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.

    5. Serve:

    • Let the hot pockets cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve warm with dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing if desired.

Notes

  • If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add a few dashes of hot sauce or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the filling.

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the beef with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based meat alternatives.

 

  • You can make these ahead of time and freeze them for later. To reheat, bake directly from the freezer at 375°F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
