Philly Cheesesteak Pizza

The working-class hero of Philadelphia sandwiches transformed into a pizza. Authentic Philly flavor isn't about red sauce; it's about thinly sliced, juicy Ribeye, sautéed onions and peppers, and melted cheese (often Provolone) brought together by a creamy garlic white base. This is a heavy-hitter meal that skips the tomato for pure savory indulgence.

Instructions

1

Prep the toppings: In a hot skillet with a little oil, sauté the onions and peppers until slightly softened. Remove and set aside.

Tip: Don't cook them until mushy; they will finish cooking in the oven.
2

In the same skillet, flash-sear the seasoned, paper-thin beef strips (approx. 1 minute).

Tip: The pan must be smoking hot! You want a sear without drying out the meat. Quick heat seals in the juices.
3

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the dough and place on a baking sheet.

Tip: Leave a slightly thicker crust rim to hold in the hearty toppings.
4

Spread the white sauce over the dough. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella.

Tip: Putting cheese on the bottom protects the crust from getting soggy.
5

Distribute the beef, onions, and peppers over the pizza. Top with the slices of Provolone.

Tip: Provolone adds that characteristic sharp, aged flavor that is the trademark of a Philly sandwich.
6

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling golden brown.

Tip: It's ready when the Provolone has completely melted over the steak.
7

Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tip: This is a filling pie, so cut into smaller slices!

Recipe FAQ

What cut of beef should I use?
Ribeye is the gold standard for its marbling, but Sirloin works too. The key is fat content and slicing it paper-thin.
Alternative to white sauce?
You can use a garlic-infused crème fraîche or a cream cheese base if you prefer.
