Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 4 portions thinly sliced frozen sandwich steaks (from 12.25-oz box), cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 large green bell pepper, cut into thin bite-size strips (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 2 cans (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
  • 1 egg, beaten, if desired

Directions

  •

    Heat oven to 350°F. In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add steak strips; cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until no longer pink. Remove steak from skillet; place on plate. Add bell pepper and onion to skillet; cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender. Return cooked steak to skillet; mix well. If desired, add salt and pepper to taste.

    Make cuts 1 inch apart on long sides of rectangle just to edge of filling. For braided appearance, fold strips of dough at an angle halfway across filling with ends slightly overlapping, alternating from side to side. Fold ends of braid under to seal. On second ungreased cookie sheet, repeat with remaining can of dough, steak mixture and cheese. Brush braids with beaten egg.
