Tips for the Perfect
Steak Pizza
1.
Choose the Right
Steak:
o
Ribeye is rich and
flavorful, while sirloin is leaner but still juicy. Filet mignon is extra
tender but mild in taste.
2.
Let the Steak Rest:
o
Allow the steak to
rest before slicing to keep the juices in.
3.
Use a Hot Oven:
o
A hot oven (475°F)
ensures a crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese.
4.
Don’t Overload the
Pizza:
o
Too many toppings
can make the pizza soggy. Keep it balanced.
5.
Experiment with
Flavors:
o
Try adding blue
cheese crumbles, arugula, or balsamic glaze for a gourmet touch.
