- 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.
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!
