Philly Cheese Steak Pizza

I’ve never attempted to make a Philly cheese steak at home, but for some reason, I recently had the urge to give it a shot. But in very Jocelyn-like fashion, I had to take this classic and turn it on its head. So, I started dreaming up my Philly Cheese Steak Pizza. I use my homemade pizza dough which has that perfect chew as the base. They I top with creamy Alfredo, steak and the classic veggies and provolone. It’s a hit boos.

Notes

How to Store & Reheat 

Cool any leftovers before wrapping them up in aluminum foil or storing them in an airtight container. Pop them in the fridge or freezer.
Reheat slices in the oven at 375°F until the cheese is bubbly and the crust regains its crispness or use an air fryer.  The microwave ain’t the best for this.

How long will steak pizza last in the fridge?

Your leftovers will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

Can I freeze leftover steak pizza?

Yep, you can! Wrap it well in plastic wrap and then in foil after it’s fully cooled to store in the freezer for up to three months. You can also wrap individual slices in plastic and then freeze them. Once it’s frozen, transfer it to a freezer-safe bag. Thaw it out in the fridge overnight before reheating.

Recipe Tips

  • Like a Crisp Crust? Cook your pizza on a baking stone and sprinkle it with a bit of cornmeal before stretching out the dough.
  • Cooking Time: This can vary slightly depending on your oven and also on how crispy you like your crust.
  • Use Tender Beef: Flank steak or rib-eye are the best options for making this pizza. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option you could certainly use cooked ground beef.
  • Make Sure Your Yeast is Fresh: Check the expiration date and avoid using old yeast so your dough cooks up perfectly.

Recipe Help

What’s the best way to slice the steak for this pizza?

You want to cut the steak into thin but not too thin slices to make it easy to eat. Another thing to keep in mind is that the steak will cook up more tender when it’s cut against the grain. Make sure to use a sharp knife and you can freeze the beef for ten minutes before slicing it to make it slightly firmer and easier to cut.

Why is my pizza crust soggy?

Just be sure to not apply too much sauce on top of the crust and use a pizza stone or cast iron pizza pan for more crispiness. Lastly, cooking the vegetables not only tenderizes them but it also cooks off some of the water in the vegetables which may make the sauce too soggy.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yep, simply mix together your dough, allow it to go through the first rise then form it into a ball. Wrap your dough in plastic wrap, place it in a freezer-safe ziploc, and store for up to three months. To thaw, place the pizza dough in the refrigerator overnight and roll it out when you’re ready!
