# What You Need:

02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons cornmeal (for dusting)

→ Steak & Vegetables

04 - 8 oz ribeye steak, thinly sliced

12 - 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
13 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
14 - 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese (optional)
15 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 450°F. Place pizza stone in oven if using to preheat thoroughly.
02 - Dust a pizza peel or baking sheet with cornmeal. Stretch or roll pizza dough into a 12-inch round and place on prepared surface. Brush dough lightly with olive oil.
03 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced steak and cook for 2-3 minutes until just browned. Remove steak and set aside.
04 - In the same skillet, add bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds more. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
05 - Distribute half of cheese mixture evenly over pizza dough. Top with steak, sautéed peppers and onions, then sprinkle remaining cheese over everything.
06 - Slide pizza onto hot stone or bake on baking sheet for 10-12 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and melted.
07 - Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired, slice and serve hot.

# Cooking Tips:

01 -
  • The combination of tender steak and three cheeses creates an incredibly rich comfort food experience
  • You get all the flavors of a classic Philly cheesesteak but with the satisfaction of homemade pizza
02 -
  • Do not overload the pizza with toppings or the crust will not cook through properly
  • Letting the dough come to room temperature for 30 minutes makes it much easier to stretch
03 -
  • Freeze your steak for 20 minutes before slicing to get paper thin pieces easily
  • Pat the peppers and onions dry after sautéing so they do not make the crust soggy
