Equipment

Ingredients

White Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon powdered chicken bouillon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano 
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pinch fresh grated nutmeg

Pizza Ingredients

  • 1 prepared pizza dough or homemade pizza dough
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (plus more for pan)
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ lb shaved steak (such as Old Neighborhood)
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, torn into small pieces
  • ¼ cup sliced pickled hot cherry peppers (or to taste)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven:
    Preheat your oven to 500 degrees f. For best results, do this about 30 minutes prior to baking the pizza.
    Make the Sauce:
    1. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
    2. Once melted, add flour and garlic and stir well until fully combined. Cook 30 seconds, until just fragrant.
    3. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly until well incorporated, then str in salt, pepper, dried oregano and chicken bouillon powder.
    4. Cook 2-3 minutes, until thickened.
    5. Turn off heat and fold in fresh grated nutmeg and grated parmesan cheese.
    6. Remove pot from heat and set aside until ready to use.
    Cook the onions and steak:
    1. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large nonstick frying pan or large skillet. 
    2. Add sliced onions, and season with salt and pepper to taste,  
    3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to brown, 8-10 minutes. 
    4. Add shaved steak to the pan with the onions, and season again with salt and pepper to taste.  
    5. Cook, breaking the steak up as you go with a wooden spoon or spatula, until all steak is cooked through, 5-7 minutes. 
    Assemble and bake the pizza:
    1. Apply a light coating of olive oil to your pizza pan (if using a pizza stone, skip this step).
    2. Carefully stretch dough with lightly oiled hands to fit your pizza pan until it reached the edges. (If using a pizza stone, form dough, then place on stone).
    3. Layer sauce over the dough edge-to-edge with the back of a spoon, leaving a small gap at the crust’s edge.
    4. Add grated parmesan in an even layer, then break up mozzarella with your hands and distribute evenly across the pizza.
    5. Layer on the steak and onions, then top with the sliced cherry peppers.
    6. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until crispy, browned, and bubbly.
    7. Allow to rest a few minutes, then slice and serve!
