Why Woodfire Makes the Difference
Sure, you could bake these in a standard oven, but where’s the fun in that? The woodfire grill adds an unmatched smoky flavor that elevates these Philly cheesesteak bites to another level. The slightly charred crust, the melty cheese, and the perfectly seared steak all come together to create a snack that feels gourmet but is surprisingly easy to make. Plus, cooking these outside means you won’t be heating up your kitchen—perfect for tailgating or backyard parties.
Woodfire Philly Cheesesteak Pizza Cups: A Flavor Explosion
Bite into one of these, and you’re immediately hit with a combination of textures and flavors. The flaky, golden-brown pizza dough provides the perfect crunch, followed by tender, juicy steak, gooey melted cheese, and a touch of caramelized onions. And let’s not forget the cheese whiz—because what’s a true Philly cheesesteak without it? The richness of the beef and cheese, combined with the subtle smokiness from the woodfire grill, makes every bite an experience worth savoring.
Perfect for Parties or Quick Bites
One of the best things about Woodfire Philly Cheesesteak Pizza Cups is how versatile they are. Need a crowd-pleasing appetizer? These will disappear faster than the halftime show.

Philly cheesesteaks are already an American classic, but turning them into pizza cups adds an element of fun and portability.

Whether you’re a cheesesteak purist or someone who loves experimenting with flavors, this recipe brings together the best of both worlds in a way that just makes sense.

Woodfire Philly Cheesesteak Pizza Cups
Equipment
- Woodfire grill
- Woodfire Griddle
- Muffin Tin
- Rolling Pin
- Ring Cutter
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ribeye Steak thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoon Beef Tallow
- 1 Onion Sliced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 3 tablespoon Dad Dust 50/50 Granulated Garlic, Granulated Onion, with a pinch of MSG
- 1 Can Pizza Dough Pillsubury
- 8 Oz Provolone Cheese
- 4 tablespoon Cheese Whiz
Instructions
- Cold Smoke: Load the woodfire with pellets and set it to Smoker, CLD, and 30 minutes. Peel and slice the onion in half. Place the Onion and the provolone on a rack. When the woodfire says "Add Food" place the rack inside the Woodfire and smoke it for 30 minutes.
- Prep the Steak: Thinly slice the steak and season it with salt, pepper and Dad Dust. Place it in a freezer bag and put it in the refrigerator while the onions and cheese cold smoke.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough and cut it into 12 circles using a ring cutter. Press each circle into a greased (with beef tallow) muffin tin, forming little cups.
- Remove & Prep: When the woodfire is done with the cheese and onions remove them and wipe down the griddle. Set the Woodfire to the Grill HI setting and 1 hour and let it preheat. Thinly slice the onions and grate the provolone cheese.
- Cook the Steak & Onions: After at least 10 minutes of preheating add the steak and onions to the woodfire and cook them until the meat has browned and the onions have softened and gotten some color. When they are done take the off and set them aside. Wipe the grill down.
- Assemble the Cups: Add a spoonful of steak and onion mixture into each dough cup. You can add cheese whiz if you want or skip it. Then add in a spoon of the steak and onion mixture. Top it with the shredded provolone.
- Airfry: Top the woofer off with pellets and set it for Air Crisp/Woodfire/350F/25 Minutes. When the woodfire says add food put the muffin tin and cook uncovered for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes cover it with foil and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Serve & Enjoy: Let the pizza cups cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin. Serve hot and watch them disappear!
