Steak House Pizza
Noting beats lean, tender slices of rib-eye, New York strip, skirt steak, heck any steak on a pizza. That beefy goodness combined with melty provolone cheese and grilled sweet bell peppers and onions takes pizza out of the mindless munchies category and puts it firmly in the "let's open a great bottle of wine" jet set. Pair this decadent steak pizza with a sturdy red like Duplin Burgundy, Pelican Red or Queen Anne's Revenge. Better yet, celebrate the joy of steak on pizza with fizzy Sweet Poppy.
Ingredients:
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 19-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup Duplin Gourmet Muscadine Smokehouse Grilling Sauce
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 1/2 pounds rib-eye, New York Strip, flank, skirt or other steak
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 medium onion
- 6 to 8 slices of provolone cheese, cut in half
- 1 12-inch par-baked pizza crust
Directions:
Prepare the sauce:
- Place a saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat.
- When pan is hot, add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan. Add garlic to hot oil and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add crushed tomatoes and Duplin Gourmet Smokehouse Grilling Sauce to the pan. Stir in dried oregano and basil. Reduce heat and simmer sauce for 10 minutes. Remove sauce from heat and set aside.
Prepare the steak:
- Season the steak to your liking and sear or grill over high heat until outside is nicely browned but inside is rare. Remove steak and set aside.
Prepare the peppers and onions:
- Remove the seeds and stem from the pepper. Cut the pepper in to 1/4-inch thick slices. Peel the onion, cut off the root and stem ends and cut the onion into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil to the pan. When oil is hot, add peppers to the pan and saute until peppers are tender, about 8 minutes. Remove peppers from the pan and set aside. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. When oil is hot, add the onions to the pan and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Assemble the pizza:
- Cut the steak into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Place the pizza crust on a pizza pan. Cover the crust with about 2 cups of sauce.
- Moving clockwise, layer slices of steak, then peppers, then onions and then cheese all the way around the crust. Continue layering in the center of the pizza. Add any leftover toppings wherever there are gaps.
- Sprinkle a little more dried oregano over the pizza.
- Bake the pizza for 10 minutes. Remove pizza from the pan to a cutting board. Cut pie into 4 large slices or 8 smaller slices.
Makes 3 to 4 servings.
