Description
Have you ever wondered why pizza and sandwiches are always competing for your heart? This Philly Cheesesteak Pizza combines the comfort of a sandwich with the shareability of a pizza. With a velvety white garlic sauce and perfectly seared ribeye, it is a meat lover’s dream that is better than takeout.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 12 oz (340g) ribeye steak, sliced very thin
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups shredded provolone cheese
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 small white onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal (for baking sheet)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ribeye: Freeze steak for 20 minutes to slice paper-thin. Heat oil in a skillet over high heat and sear steak strips for 1-2 minutes until browned but slightly pink. Remove and set aside.
- Make the Creamy White Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan. Add garlic for 30 seconds, then whisk in flour for 1 minute. Slowly add heavy cream, whisking until thick. Stir in Parmesan if desired.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté peppers and onions for 3-4 minutes until softened to prevent a soggy crust.
- Assemble the Pizza: Preheat oven to 475°F. Stretch dough on a baking sheet with cornmeal. Spread white sauce evenly, followed by half the cheese, then the steak and vegetables.
- Bake to Perfection: Top with remaining cheese. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
- Rest and Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the sauce and cheese to set.
Notes
Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the pizza to ensure the crust stays crispy. For an authentic ‘Wit Whiz’ flavor, drizzle melted cheese sauce over the top before serving.
