Steak and Cheese Stuffed Pretzel Bites are a delicious blend of soft pretzel dough, savory steak, and gooey cheese, creating the ultimate comfort food perfect for gatherings and game days.

Ingredients

Scale

Soft Pretzel Dough

  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup baking soda (for boiling)

Filling

  • 1 lb tender steak (flank, sirloin, or ribeye)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted, for brushing)
  • Coarse salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Begin by making or purchasing your soft pretzel dough. If you’re making it from scratch, let it rise according to the recipe instructions until it doubles in size.
  2. Cook the Steak: Season and cook your steak to your desired doneness. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into small pieces.
  3. Prepare the Cheese Filling: In a bowl, mix your cheeses together. This will create a creamy, melty filling that pairs perfectly with the steak.
  4. Shape the Pretzel Bites: Divide the dough into small balls. Flatten each ball, add a piece of steak and a spoonful of cheese, then fold the dough around the filling and pinch to seal.
  5. Boil the Pretzel Bites: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add baking soda. Boil each pretzel bite for about 30 seconds before transferring them to a baking sheet.
  6. Bake: Bake your pretzel bites in a preheated oven until golden brown. Brush them with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt as soon as they come out of the oven.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh steak and cheese will elevate the flavors significantly.
  • Don’t Overfill: Be careful not to overstuff the pretzel bites, as this can cause them to burst while baking.
  • Keep an Eye on Baking Time: Ovens vary; keep an eye on your bites to prevent burning.
  • Experiment with Seasonings: Adding garlic powder or onion powder to the dough can enhance flavor.
  • Let Them Cool Slightly: Allowing the bites to cool for a few minutes will help the cheese set slightly, making them easier to eat.
