Load up your own homemade pizza dough with cooked steak, cheese, sweet onion, bell peppers and a garlic white sauce. Yum!
Pizza:
1/2 of your homemade pizza dough recipe
6 oz. cooked ribeye, skirt, or flank steak, or roast beef (see notes for cooking instructions)
1/2 green bell pepper, sliced
3-5 mushrooms, sliced
1/2 sweet onion, thinly sliced
3 t. oil, optional
1 1/4 c. shredded cheese (Mozzarella or Provolone)
Sauce:
1 T. butter
1 T. flour
1/2 c. cold milk
1-3 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 t. salt
pinch of black pepper
pinch of nutmeg
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
Roll dough out into a 12 inch circle. Create a lip or rim by thickening the dough around the crust portion, which keeps the sauce in instead of running over the sides. Allow dough to rest for 15-20 minutes while preparing the sauce.
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour; cook 1 minute or until it smells like baked pie dough. Slowly stream in cold milk while whisking. Add garlic; allow sauce to come to a gentle simmer. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Remove sauce from the stovetop; whisk in Parmesan cheese. Allow sauce to cool for 5-10 minutes. Prepare the veggies in that time.
The veggies can be raw on the pizza, if preferred. Or, heat a skillet with 1 teaspoon oil (3 t. total) and separately cook onions, peppers, and mushrooms for just a couple minutes, adding 1 t. oil after each addition. You might want to let the onions go low and slow for a little longer to get them to sweeten up a bit more, but this is optional.
Top dough with sauce, cooked steak, veggies, and shredded cheese.
Bake 12-15 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and cheese is bubbling and golden. If desired, turn oven to the broiler setting to get everything extra bubbly for the last minute of baking.
