Ingredients
  

For the Filling:
  • 3 tablespoons butter for sautéing and added richness
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil to enhance flavor and prevent sticking
  • 2 tablespoons sugar to balance the flavors of the onions and peppers
  • 2 onions sliced
  • 2 green bell peppers sliced
  • 1 lb. tri-tip meat thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup Rondele Garlic and Herb Spread or cream cheese for a creamy texture
  • 1 can Pilsbury Pizza Dough the perfect base for your pinwheels
  • 6 slices provolone cheese for that iconic cheese steak flavor

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking sheet
  • Sharp knife
  • Spatula

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and green bell peppers. Sprinkle the sugar over the veggies and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they become tender and caramelized.
  2. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the thinly sliced tri-tip meat to the skillet. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and cooked through. Once done, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, unroll the Pilsbury Pizza Dough into a rectangle. If needed, use a rolling pin to stretch it slightly.
  4. Spread the Rondele Garlic and Herb Spread evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Layer the cooked meat and veggie mixture on top, followed by the provolone cheese slices.
  5. Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Pinch the edges to seal the filling inside.
  6. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Place the pinwheels on a greased baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Allow pinwheels to cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • To freeze, place in a freezer-safe bag and reheat directly from the freezer.
  • Try adding sautéed mushrooms or fresh herbs for a flavor boost!
