Homemade Pizza! This is seriously it. The pizza to end all pizzas. This cheese steak pizza has so much goodness all loaded onto my homemade pizza crust. It’s beefy and cheesy but also has something for my veggie lovers — onions, peppers, mushrooms. It’ll satisfy the whole family all in one go. And your MOUTH will thank you. I don’t know how much convincing is necessary when we’re talking about canceling on your local pizza guy and instead making this beautiful pie as home. But really, let’s just take a minute and a virtual whiff of this melty, cheesy, garlicky steak pizza. Oh chyeah, totally forgot to mention the best-ish part about all of this! The homemade garlic white sauce. In this house we have major adoration for all things garlic. Here’s how we make this cheese steak pizza. It all starts with the pizza crust. Now you can certainly buy store-bought pizza dough and just whip that up but if you’ve got a little time over the weekend, I urge you to give my homemade pizza dough a try. And if you’re feeling particularly lazy, my no knead pizza dough is just delicious! It freezes well so you could just make a batch and freeze it to have on hand whenever you NEED this cheesesteak pizza in your life. The next thing we need is the garlic sauce. It starts off just like any other white sauce. We begin by whisking together a little butter and flour in a small saucepan once the room smells like cooked pie dough, we stream in the milk. Remember, always use COLD MILK when making a white sauce, you’ll never get lumps that way. While the milk heat up, we’ll add in 1-3 cloves of pressed garlic. And when the sauce reaches a simmer, we’ll add in the final touches. A little salt, pepper, a pinch of nutmeg, and ¼ cup of grated parmesan cheese. And the steak. Leftover cooked ribeye, skirt or flank steaks are all perfect for this recipe. You’ll need a total of 6 ounces of cooked steak for 1 pizza. I keep the seasonings pretty simple on the steak since our white sauce is LOADED with garlicky goodness. For the veggies, I loaded on lots of onions, green peppers, and sliced mushrooms. We have a divided household when it comes to the best kind of pizza. I root hard for the veggies and the hubby is all about the meat. But i’m sure this comes as no surprise as this is probably the case in most households. You can sauté the onions, mushrooms, and peppers a little before adding them on to the steak pizza or just add them raw. I find that mushrooms tend to get a little watery when added raw so I almost always give them a quick sauté. Also, you can caramelize the onions completely if you want a little more of that sweet depth of flavor. You really can’t go wrong with this one, use the veggies how ever you like. And friends, there’s no such thing as too much cheese on your pizza. We like shredded mozzarella but provolone, or even an Italian cheese blend would be delicious. Use whatever you like! And there you have it! Golden crust, bubbly cheese, sweet onions, and steak all loaded onto this Philly cheese steak pizza. May your Fridays always look this good! ⬇⬇⬇
If you don’t have leftover cooked steak, here’s how to make it: Freeze the steak for 20-30 minutes so it’s easier to slice. Slice into very thin slices. Heat a skillet with 2 teaspoons of oil and season the steak with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the meat for a total of 1-2 minutes flipping it halfway in between so that it cooks evenly. Remove to a plate and let cool.
