Slice or dice the beef pepperoni depending on your recipe. Thin slices are perfect for pizzas, while diced pieces work wonderfully in pastas or salads.

Chop the veggies: Bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms are great options that complement the beef pepperoni’s flavor. Make sure they’re evenly cut for consistent cooking.

Grate the cheese: Freshly grated cheese melts better and adds a smoother texture to your dish.

In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef pepperoni and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’ll notice it releasing some oils and becoming crispy on the edges—this is the magic!

For extra flavor, toss in some garlic and herbs, letting them cook with the pepperoni. The combination will fill your kitchen with irresistible aromas.

Add the vegetables to the skillet and sauté them with the beef pepperoni. This step helps infuse the veggies with the pepperoni’s smoky flavor. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until the veggies are tender.

If you’re making a pizza or baked dish, now is the time to spread the tomato sauce or brush the dough with olive oil before layering the beef pepperoni mixture on top.

Sprinkle the cheese generously over the mixture, and let it melt into a delicious, gooey finish.

For pizza or baked dishes, pop everything into the oven. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

If you’re making a quick pasta dish, simply toss the beef pepperoni and veggies with cooked pasta and enjoy!

Once your dish is cooked to perfection, serve immediately and watch everyone dig in. Whether it’s a comforting dinner or a fun appetizer, beef pepperoni is sure to steal the show.
