Philly Cheesesteak Pizza (Printer-friendly)

Tender steak, sautéed peppers, and melted cheeses on a crispy pizza crust for a bold dinner.

# Ingredient List:

→ Pizza Base

01 - 1 prepared pizza dough, approximately 12 inches in diameter
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons cornmeal for dusting

→ Steak and Vegetables

04 - 8 ounces 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)

# Directions:

01 - Set oven temperature to 450°F. If utilizing a pizza stone, place it inside the oven to heat thoroughly.
02 - Lightly coat a pizza peel or baking sheet with cornmeal. Shape the dough into a 12-inch round and transfer it onto the prepared surface. Brush the surface evenly with olive oil.
03 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced steak and sear for 2 to 3 minutes until browned. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
04 - In the same skillet, add bell peppers and onion. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened. Incorporate minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Remove from heat.
05 - Distribute half of the combined shredded cheeses evenly over the pizza dough. Layer the steak slices followed by the sautéed vegetables on top. Sprinkle remaining cheese over all.
06 - Transfer pizza onto the preheated stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbling.
07 - Remove pizza from oven, optionally sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Slice and serve immediately while hot.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like the best late-night decision you've ever made, combining two cravings into one satisfying dish.
  • The preparation is straightforward enough that you won't stress, but impressive enough that everyone will think you fussed.
  • Leftover slices reheat beautifully, making this perfect for meal prep or unexpected guests.
02 -
  • Slicing your steak thin matters enormously—if it's too thick, it won't cook through during that brief skillet time, leaving you with a tougher bite than you want.
  • Don't skip preheating the pizza stone; a cold surface means a soggy bottom, and that's the one thing that can derail this whole beautiful thing.
03 -
  • If your pizza dough has been refrigerated, let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before stretching—it'll be way more forgiving and won't shrink back stubbornly.
  • Keep your sliced steak in a single layer as it cooks; crowding the pan steams it instead of searing it, and that makes all the difference in texture and flavor.
