Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
- 1 12 cups provolone cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
Vegetables:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Base and Seasoning:
- 1 ball pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at a scorching 475F (245C), ensuring optimal heat for a crispy pizza foundation.
- Gently stretch the pizza dough on a flour-dusted surface, creating a thin and even canvas.
- Transfer the dough onto a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet, delicately brushing with olive oil for a golden sheen.
- Heat a skillet with a splash of olive oil over medium-high temperature.
- Sear the steak slices quickly, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce until beautifully browned. Set aside to rest.
- In the same skillet, caramelize onions, bell peppers, and garlic until softened. Optional: incorporate sliced mushrooms for extra depth.
- Artfully spread the sautéed vegetable medley across the prepared dough, creating a flavorful base.
- Arrange the perfectly cooked steak strips over the vegetable layer, ensuring even distribution.
- Generously crown the pizza with a blend of provolone and mozzarella cheeses, creating a molten blanket of flavor.
- Slide the pizza into the preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes until the crust transforms to a golden crisp and cheese bubbles enticingly.
- Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, adding a vibrant touch of color and herbaceous brightness before serving.
Notes
- Slice steak ultra-thin against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing, ensuring each bite is melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
- Drain excess liquid from sauteed vegetables to prevent a soggy pizza crust, keeping the base crispy and perfectly textured.
- Use a pizza stone or preheated baking sheet to achieve a crispier crust that mimics authentic pizzeria-style results.
- Experiment with alternative cheeses like white American or mild cheddar for different flavor profiles while maintaining the classic Philly cheesesteak essence.
