Try a new beef recipe with our Cheesesteak Crescent Braid Recipe. It is packed with cheese, cooked steak, peppers, onions and cooked to perfection.

This is our take on a Philly Cheesesteak Braid and it makes for a great crescent dough recipe. I will often buy them when they are on sale and pull the crescent rolls out to go with an easier dinner.

But, I love to use them for our recipes like this crescent braid recipe. It takes the work out of creating the dough, but you still get those delicious flaky layers.

Serve this easy dinner recipe with some Instant Pot Green Beans Recipe, an Easy Green Garden Salad Recipe, or some Parmesan Crusted Asparagus Recipe.

Ingredients You Need to Make Our Cheesesteak Crescent Braid Recipe:

Ingredients:

How To Make Our Cheesesteak Crescent Braid Recipe:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a skillet over medium high heat, the melt butter. Then, add in red pepper and onions and then saute them until vegetables are soft and tender
• Remove the skillet from heat and mix cooked steak with vegetables.
• Now, unroll 1 can of crescent dough on an ungreased cookie sheet and firmly press and stretch dough to make the dough into one big piece (getting rid of the perforations). Press or roll it into a rectangle shape.

• Spoon half of the steak mixture in a 2-inch wide strip lengthwise down center of dough so that it’s within 1/4-inch of each end. Then, sprinkle the cheese over the steak mixture.

• Make cuts 1 inch apart on long sides of rectangle just to edge of filling (I used a pizza cutter to cut my dough). To make it look like a braid, fold strips of dough at an angle halfway across filling with ends slightly overlapping, alternating from side to side. Fold ends of braid underneath the loaf to seal.

• Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients on another ungreased cookie sheet.

• To get the top nicely browned, brush both braids with beaten egg. (You don’t have to use all of the egg, just brush enough on to cover the top).

• Place cookie sheets in the oven and bake the crescent braid for 15-20 minutes or until braids are golden brown.

• Let braids stand for 5 minutes before serving. Cut into slices and serve.
