- 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.
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!
