Cheese Steak Pizza, done JAH Style! Pizza Dough sauced with Mild Mayo Sauce and topped with Steak Strips, Onions, Peppers, and Cheese. Dressed with Red Greek Sauce over top, that makes this a hell of a good steak Pizza. Optionally add Sautéed Mushrooms.
Pizza Dough
Have it on a Thin Crust or a Hand Tossed Pizza Dough. The Thin crust can be made and ready within the same day. While the Hand Tossed needs time to properly ferment.
If however, you make the hand-tossed pizza dough and freeze them, then it’s as simple as taking it out to thaw.
Cheese Steak Pizza Sauce
The Mild Mayo Sauce and the Red Greek Sauce are the two sauces used. Make the Red Greek Sauce in advance. Since some of this is used to make the Mild Mayo Sauce as well.
I use the Mild Mayo Sauce as the base sauce for the Pizza and the Red Greek Sauce to dress the pizza. However, you could flip the sauces and use the Red Greek Sauce as the base and the Mild Mayo as the dressing sauce. Entirely up to you and your preferences.
The Mild Mayo Sauce and Red Greek Sauce Combination is something that I often use not just for Cheesesteak Pizza, but also for Gyro Wraps & Shawarmas. The combination works extremely well together with meats.
Other Sauces
Other Sauces can be used in place of the Above Sauces to get different variations of the Cheese Steak Pizza. Use both Sauces from the Saucy Steak Recipe or Arby’s Sauce, Cheese Whiz Sauce for the Dressing sauce that goes on top.
Even mixing a bit of Mayo and HP Sauce or other Steak Sauce for either the Base or the Dressing sauce on top.
You could also just stay with the Base Pizza Sauce for the Cheesesteak Pizza and use another Sauce of your choice for the Dressing Sauce.
Steak
Use Sliced cooked steak for the Steak Pizza. This recipe usually comes after I have made Cheese Steak Sub, reserving some of the meat for this recipe here.
Use reserved meat from making the Cheese Steak oven subs. Doing so reduces time and effort, as well as having this dish as a natural carry-over dish.
If making this from scratch, then slice thinly the steak. Partially freezing the steak can help with this.
Cook the steak in a skillet until the pink is gone, with a bit of Salt & Pepper. Or marinate it in some Seasoned Oil and then cook it to use as the topping for the Pizza.
Any cut can be used but ideally, you want Rib Eye, Flank, Chuck Eye, Top or Bottom round.
Cheese Steak Pizza Toppings
Add to the Steak Pizza, Diced Onions, Peppers, and Sautéed Mushrooms if desired. Other toppings may include Hot Peppers, Dill Pickles, Fried Onions, and/or Diced Tomatoes.
Cheese
For this Pizza, the standard Cheese blend that I am always going on about is a 3:1 ratio of Mozzarella & Provolone Cheese. It adds exceptional flavor and good melting. However, for this particular pizza also include shredded cheddar cheese. It just goes so well with Steak.
