Philly Cheesesteak Pizza (Printer-Friendly)

Tender steak, sautéed peppers and onions, and three-cheese blend on crispy crust.

# What You'll Need:

→ Pizza Base

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

→ Steak and Vegetables

04 - 8 oz 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 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
11 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Cheese and Toppings

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 Prepare:

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

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The ribeye steak stays tender and juicy, never tough, even after baking in the hot oven
  • You get all those authentic Philly cheesesteak flavors without needing any special equipment or techniques
02 -
  • Let the dough sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, fighting cold dough will only make you tear it
  • Do not overload the pizza with too many vegetables or the crust will never fully crisp up underneath
03 -
  • A pizza stone makes a noticeable difference in crust texture, but a preheated baking sheet works surprisingly well
  • For extra authenticity, drizzle with warm cheese sauce right after baking like the street carts do
