Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. cooked steak (or 1 lb. uncooked sirloin steak)
  • 2 loaves Rhodes Frozen Bread Dough
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Au Jus (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Thaw premade bread dough according to package directions.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • If cooking steak follow these directions:
  • Remove steak from fridge and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes
  • Pat dry and season generously with salt and pepper
  • Heat skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Add oil, then place steak in pan.
  • Cook 3–4 minutes without moving.
  • Flip and cook another 3–5 minutes (depending on desired doneness).
  • Remove from pan and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
  • When steak is cooled, slice into small pieces and set aside.
  • If using leftover steak, follow these directions:
  • Cut leftover steak into small pieces. Salt and pepper and set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.
  • Roll each piece into a flat circle, about 6–7 inches wide.
  • Spoon a few tablespoons of the cooked steak into the center of each circle. Top with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Fold the dough over the filling to form a rectangle or pocket shape, then pinch the edges firmly to seal, making sure no filling can escape during baking.
  • Place each Hot Pocket seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  • Bake at 375°F for 15–20 minutes, or until the Hot Pockets are golden brown on top.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  • If desired, serve with Au Jus and enjoy!
