🛒 Ingredients
-
1 lb thinly sliced steak (ribeye or sirloin works best)
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 small onion, sliced
-
1 small green bell pepper, sliced
-
1 small red bell pepper, sliced
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
Salt & pepper to taste
-
1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
-
2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent rolls

Optional: mayo or cheese sauce for dipping
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook the Filling
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the steak, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and cook until just browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté onions and bell peppers until softened, about 4–5 minutes. Return the steak to the skillet, mix together, and remove from heat.
3. Assemble the Ring
-
Open the crescent rolls and separate into triangles.
-
On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the triangles in a sunburst or star shape, with the short ends overlapping in the center and the points facing outward.
-
Spoon the steak and veggie mixture in a ring around the overlapping base of the triangles.
-
Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
-
Fold the tips of the triangles over the filling and tuck under the ring to secure.
4. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
5. Serve
Let it cool slightly, then slice and serve with your favorite dipping sauce—mayo, cheese sauce, or even a little spicy mustard.
🍴 Pro Tips
-
Make it spicy: Add sliced jalapeños or pepper jack cheese for a kick.
