My husband wanted something a little different for pizza night tonight. He wanted a pizza with beef and onions, and maybe a few mushrooms. It sounded to me like he might have been inspired by steak & mushroom pie (especially considering he'd just been to the British import shop & bakery!). So here is my interpretation! Ingredients:
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
8 ounces sliced mushrooms |
2 medium onions, thinly sliced |
1 garlic clove, minced |
salt, to taste |
fresh ground pepper, to taste |
1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme |
1 -2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar |
3/4 lb beef sirloin steak, cut into strips |
1 -2 tablespoon flour |
1 (12 inch) prepared pizza crust (not prebaked) |
1/2 cup pizza sauce (or to taste) |
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or to taste) |
Directions:
1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, mushrooms, and garlic and saute 1-2 minutes, or until starting to release juices. Add salt, pepper, thyme, and balsamic vinegar and stir-fry until onions are just turning brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
2. In same skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add beef strips and stir-fry until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Add mushroom mixture back to skillet and cook until heated through. Add enough flour to thicken juices. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Meanwhile, heat oven to 400* F. Spread pizza dough out into a 12 inch circle in a greased pizza pan. Bake at 400* F for about 10 minutes, or until just turning pale golden.
4. Spread sauce over crust. Top with about 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese (use more if desired). Place beef mixture evenly over cheese. Top with remaining mozzarella.
5. Return to oven and bake at 400* F for another 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is melted with golden brown spots.
