This recipe is from one of my favorite chef’s, Ree Drummond - The Pioneer Woman.
If you don’t have her cook book you should get one right away.
This recipe could be adapted with store bought pizza crust and you could use your
steak leftovers as well. It might not be quite as good as Ree’s but I’m betting it would still
be tasty, tasty!
Ingredients
1 whole Recipe Pizza Cmst
1 whole Skirt Steak Or Flank Steak
Salt And Pepper, to taste
2 whole Red Onions, Sliced Thin
3 Tablespoons Butter
4 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
2 cups Marinara Sauce
12 ounces, weight Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, Sliced Thin
Shaved Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Good Steak Sauce (more If Desired)
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Arrange rack in the bottom half of the oven.
Saute red onions in butter and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar over medium-low heat until
dark and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Combine marinara sauce with 2 tablespoons balsamic and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.
Grill steak over high heat until medium rare. Remove from grill and set aside.
Roll out pizza dough until very thin. Top with marinara mixture and spread to coat dough.
Lay caramelized red onions all over the sauce, then top onions with slices of mozzarella cheese.
Bake pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until cmst is golden and cheese is bubbly (but watch to make sure
it doesn’t bum.)
While pizza is baking, slice steak into very thin slices.
Remove pizza from the oven, then drape slices of steak all over the surface. Drizzle the top
of the pizza with steak sauce (use squirt bottle if you have one) and top the whole thing with
Parmesan shavings.
Cut into squares and serve immediately.
