Ingredients
Scale
1 pound flank steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
12 -16 pepperoni slices (about 2 ounces)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the flank steak cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes while preheating your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Thread the marinated steak cubes onto wooden or metal skewers, alternating with folded pepperoni slices. Leave slight gaps for even cooking.
- Grill or Bake:
- Brush skewers with 1 cup marinara sauce, then sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella evenly over them. Return to the grill or oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
- Remove from heat, let rest for 2 minutes to lock in juices, and serve hot with fries or your favorite side.
- Fries (Optional): Bake 1 lb frozen fries at 425°F for 20-25 minutes per package instructions. Toss with 1 tsp garlic powder and 1 tsp Parmesan while hot.
Notes
- Tasty Tips:

- Drizzle a touch of truffle oil post-cook for a luxurious umami boost.
- Swap pepperoni for olives or mushrooms for a personal twist.
- Add mozzarella in the last few minutes to keep it from sliding off.
