Philly Cheesesteak Pizza

The favourite sandwich of Philadelphia workers has been transformed into a pizza. The original recipe contains wafer-thinly sliced, juicy beef (ribeye), fried onions and peppers, and melted cheese (often Provolone). This pizza isn't about tomato sauce, but about the meat juices and a creamy, garlicky white base that binds the rich toppings. A true heavyweight contender.

Instructions

1

Prepare the topping: in a hot frying pan with a little oil, sauté the onion and pepper until slightly softened. Remove them.

Tip: Do not fry them until completely soft; they will cook further in the oven.
2

In the same pan, quickly sear the wafer-thinly sliced, seasoned beef (approx. 1 minute).

Tip: The pan should be smoking hot! Just get some colour on it, don't let it dry out. [Rapid heat seals in the moisture.]
3

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Roll out the dough and place on a baking tray.

Tip: Leave a thicker crust to hold the juicy ragu.
4

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

Tip: Cheese is needed at the bottom too, to protect the dough from getting soggy.
5

Distribute the meat, onions, and peppers over it. Cover with the Provolone cheese slices.

Tip: Provolone provides that characteristic, slightly sharp, mature flavour that is the trademark of the Philly sandwich.
6

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

Tip: It's ready when the Provolone has completely melted onto the meat.
7

Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tip: Very filling, cut into smaller slices!

Recipe FAQ

What meat should I buy?
The best is marbled ribeye, but sirloin is also good. The main thing is that it should have some fat and you can cut it very thinly.
Instead of white sauce?
You can also use garlicky sour cream or cream cheese as a base.
