About this recipe

This innovative dish combines the hearty flavor of a grilled steak with the vibrant, savory elements of a classic pizza. Perfect for a special dinner that mixes traditional American and Italian comfort foods.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound steak
  • 1/4 cup homemade or store-bought pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced onions
  • 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Rub the steak with olive oil, then season it all over with salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

  4. 4

    Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes, lightly covered with aluminum foil.

  5. 5

    Spread pizza sauce evenly over the top of the rested steak.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, followed by pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.

  7. 7

    Return the steak to the grill and close the lid; cook until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.

  8. 8

    Let the steak rest for another 3 minutes before slicing and serving.

Chef's tip

For added flavor, you can marinate the steak with a blend of olive oil, garlic, and herbs a few hours prior to cooking.
