- Can I use other meat?
- Yes, it works with pork tenderloin or chicken breast, but beef gives the authentic character.
Korean BBQ Beef Pizza (Bulgogi Style)
Korean BBQ meets Italian pizza. 'Bulgogi' literally means 'fire meat', referring to thinly sliced beef marinated in a sweet and savory sauce. In this fusion dish, the acidity of tomato sauce, the stretch of mozzarella, and the caramelized flavors of marinated meat create a surprisingly harmonious unity. A real flavor bomb crowned by the scent of sesame oil.

Instructions
1
✓
Preheat the oven to 425°F (convection), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Tip: High heat is essential for pizza crispiness and sudden dough rise (oven spring).
2
✓
Slice the beef into paper-thin strips. Toss with half the Korean spices and a drop of sesame oil.
Tip: If you put the meat in the freezer for 20 minutes beforehand, it will be much easier to slice thinly. Thin slices cook perfectly in the short baking time.
3
✓
Roll out the dough and spread thinly with tomato sauce, leaving a 1/2 inch border.
Tip: Less is more: if there is too much sauce, the dough gets soggy and won't bake crisp.
4
✓
Sprinkle with mozzarella, then distribute the seasoned meat strips on top.
Tip: Don't overcrowd the meat; let the hot air circulate around the slices so they brown instead of steam.
5
✓
Drizzle with remaining sesame oil and sprinkle with remaining spices.
Tip: Sesame oil aroma intensifies during baking, but use carefully as it is very dominant.
6
✓
Bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese bubbles and crust is golden brown.
Tip: Cheese browning (Maillard reaction) indicates deepening flavors.
7
✓
Serve sprinkled with fresh scallions and cilantro.
Tip: The crunch of fresh raw onion and the citrusy cilantro counterbalance the rich cheese and meat.
