Tender steak, peppers, and melted cheese blend on a crisp pizza crust for a savory delight.

# What You'll Need:

→ Pizza Base

01 - 1 prepared pizza dough (12-inch diameter)
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons cornmeal (for dusting)

→ Steak and Vegetables

04 - 8 ounces ribeye steak, thinly sliced
05 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
06 - 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
07 - 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
08 - 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
09 - 1 garlic clove, minced
10 - ½ teaspoon kosher salt
11 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

→ Cheese and Garnish

12 - 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
13 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
14 - ½ cup shredded white cheddar cheese (optional)
15 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

# How To Make:

01 - Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place a pizza stone inside to heat if available.
02 - Dust a pizza peel or baking sheet with cornmeal. Stretch or roll out pizza dough to a 12-inch round and place on the prepared surface. Lightly brush dough with olive oil.
03 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear sliced ribeye steak for 2 to 3 minutes until just browned. Remove and set aside.
04 - In the same skillet, add bell peppers and onion and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper then remove from heat.
05 - Evenly spread half the cheese mixture over the dough. Layer cooked steak and sautéed vegetables on top, then sprinkle remaining cheese over everything.
06 - Transfer pizza onto the preheated stone or place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
07 - Remove pizza from oven. Optionally garnish with chopped parsley, then slice and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like someone took your favorite sandwich and made it even better by putting it on pizza.
  • The whole thing comes together faster than takeout, and your kitchen smells incredible the entire time.
  • Every bite has tender steak, soft peppers, and enough cheese that you'll question why you ever order plain pizza again.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cornmeal on your peel—I learned this the hard way when a beautiful pizza stuck halfway through the transfer and I had to rebuild it on the baking sheet.
  • The steak will finish cooking on the pizza, so brown it quickly and pull it off early; overcooking the meat beforehand turns it tough and gray.
03 -
  • Let your pizza stone preheat for at least 10 minutes so it's hot enough to crisp the bottom crust immediately.
  • Use a pizza peel and cornmeal for transferring—it's the difference between a beautiful pizza and a kitchen disaster.
