Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a skillet over medium high heat, melt butter. Add in red pepper and onions and saute until vegetables are soft and tender
Remove skillet from heat and mix cooked steak with vegetables.
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. Press or roll into a rectangle.
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. Sprinkle 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.
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 for 15-20 minutes or until braids are golden brown.
Let braids stand for 5 minutes before serving. Cut into slices and serve.

You can easily cut this recipe in half to feed a smaller family.
You can use any color of bell pepper for this recipe - a mixture of red and green bell pepper is our favorite.
