Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 of a green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 of a large onion, sliced into rings and halved
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 8 ounces ribeye steak
- 2 sheets thawed puff pastry
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Vegetables: On a cutting board, thinly slice the green bell pepper and cut the onion into rings, then slice the rings in half to create long pieces for easier layering.
- Heat Skillet: Warm a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add one tablespoon of oil for cooking.
- Cook Ribeye Steak: Place the ribeye steak in the hot skillet and brown it on one side without moving for approximately 5 minutes to develop a crust.
- Flip Steak: Turn the steak over and cook for another 5 minutes until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
- Sauté Vegetables: Remove the steak from the skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onions to the pan, cook and stir them for 5 minutes until softened and caramelized, then remove from heat.
- Slice Steak: While the vegetables cook, cut the ribeye into thin slices suitable for layering.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Lay the two sheets of thawed puff pastry side by side on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add Cheese: Place the provolone cheese slices down the center of each puff pastry sheet to create a cheesy base.
- Layer Steak and Veggies: Distribute the sliced ribeye, sautéed bell peppers, and caramelized onions evenly over the cheese on each pastry sheet.
- Mix Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the large egg and tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash for sealing and glazing.
- Fold Pastry: Fold one side panel of each puff pastry sheet over the filling, brush the edge with egg wash, then fold the other side panel over and press to seal securely.
- Position Pastry: Flip each pastry so the sealed seam side is down on the baking sheet to prevent opening during baking.
- Glaze Pastry: Brush the tops and sides of each pastry bundle generously with egg wash for a golden finish.
- Create Steam Vents: Carefully cut three slits on top of each pastry bundle to allow steam to escape while baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the pastries stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry sheets are properly thawed before use to prevent tearing.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the steak thinly for an even layer inside the pastry.
- You can substitute ribeye with other tender cuts of beef if preferred.
- The egg wash helps achieve a glossy, golden crust on the puff pastry.
- Letting the pastries rest after baking helps the filling settle and improves slicing.
