Ingredients:
- For the Pizza:
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (or homemade if preferred)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 oz ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese (or a combination of provolone and mozzarella)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Steak:
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Remove from heat.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
- Assemble the Pizza:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet if using a pizza stone, or directly onto a baking sheet if not.
- Spread the marinara or pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded provolone cheese over the sauce.
- Evenly distribute the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables over the cheese.
- Top with the remaining provolone cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Bake the Pizza:
- Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Serve:
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute before slicing. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired.
Enjoy your Philly Cheese Steak Pizza, a mouthwatering combination of classic flavors in a new, delicious form!
