Dough Ingredients
- 1.5 cups shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 cup superfine almond flour
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Filling Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs shaved ribeye steak or extra-lean roast beef slices
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a heavy-duty baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the rolls.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and green bell peppers, and sauté for about 4 minutes until they become translucent and slightly caramelized.
- Cook Beef: Add the shaved ribeye steak to the skillet with the vegetables. Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper and cook, searing and stirring for approximately 5 minutes until the beef is fully cooked. Drain any excess moisture and grease to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
- Melt Cheese for Dough: In a microwave-safe glass bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Make Dough: Add the almond flour, egg, and garlic powder to the melted cheese mixture. Knead the ingredients together, either manually or with a spatula, until a uniform dough ball forms.
- Roll Out Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a large rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick.
- Divide Dough: Use a pizza cutter to divide the dough rectangle into 8 equal pieces.
- Assemble Rolls: Place one slice of provolone cheese on each piece of dough. Top evenly with the prepared beef and vegetable mixture.
- Roll Up: Roll each dough piece tightly from the shorter end, pinching the seam and ends securely to encase the filling.
- Prepare for Baking: Position the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to prevent them from unrolling during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Rest and Serve: Let the rolls rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow the internal cheese to set before serving.
Notes
- Use shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella for the best dough texture.
- Draining excess grease from the beef mixture is important to keep the dough from becoming soggy.
- Superfine almond flour helps achieve a smoother dough consistency.
- Room temperature egg helps the dough come together evenly.
- The rolls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
- For a spicier option, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
