Equipment

Ingredients
- For the Pizza Dough:
- 2 ¼ tsp 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water 110°F
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- For the Toppings:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ lb ribeye steak thinly sliced (or sirloin)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 small onion thinly sliced
- 1 small green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 small red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup provolone cheese shredded
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup white American cheese shredded
- ½ cup Alfredo sauce or garlic butter sauce for the base
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
- Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Step 2: Cook the Steak and Veggies
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and sauté onions, bell peppers, and garlic for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Step 3: Assemble the Pizza
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce (or garlic butter sauce) over the dough.
- Layer with half of the shredded cheeses, followed by the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Step 4: Bake the Pizza
- Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
- Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Slice and serve warm with a side of marinara sauce or a drizzle of garlic butter for extra flavor!
Notes
For Extra Flavor: Add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes on top before baking.
Alternative Cheeses: Cheez Whiz can be used instead of white American cheese for a more authentic Philly taste.
Steak Tip: Freezing the steak for 20-30 minutes before slicing makes it easier to cut thin slices.
Dough Substitute: Store-bought pizza dough works if you're short on time.
