Hunk of Meat Monday: Philly Cheese Steak Pizza

October 16, 2011

If any of you have a love for the cheesy goodness of Philly Cheesesteaks, you are not going to be able to resist this pizza. Yum!

Of course you can make this with left over Italian Beef. I should just have a cookbook devoted to all you can do with the base of Italian Beef.
I had made the PW’s pizza crust for a pizza earlier in the week when I was going to be at a meeting. I figured the hubby could put together a pizza if I had all the ingredients. So, I needed to use the other half of the dough. I also had some leftover Italian Beef, so I figured I could make some kind of pizza. But, if you have a tube of store bought, feel free to use that too!

To get started, I caramelized onions, green peppers and mushrooms. For a quick catch up on how to do that, go here.

To start getting the pizza ready, I start by putting some EVOO and garlic powder down on a round pizza stone. I then use a paper towel to spread it out over the stone.

Then I spread the dough over top and put slices of provolone on top of the dough. I used no tomatoe based sauce.

Since the Italian Beef had been in the fridge, I warmed it up a little in the microwave and then drained all the extra broth and juice off the meat. I had about 1.5 cups of meat. I sprinkled that over top of the cheese.

By this point, my caramlized veggies were ready. I then layered all of them over top of the meat.

Then I shredded 8 ounces of pepperjack cheese and covered the pizza.

I baked the pizza on 475 degrees for about 12-15 minutes. You want the dough to be done and the cheese to brown.

It was amazing. I am to the point that I am making Italian Beef to have all the yummy things I make from the leftovers. If you are more of chicken person, be sure to check out the strawberry balsamic chicken pizza that Mamie at Home Grown Beanes from last week’s Hunk of Meat Linky Party.

Ohh Yum! I will have to make this pizza for me (which of course I will eat all of it). Hubby hates onions, but that is his loss, not mine.
I shared my recipe for homemade chicken stock this week.

I don't think any other person in the world loves food the way I do. I loved reading about your dishes. I'll have to try some of them out. I've been looking for a roaster. I was wondering if you know where I can find a good one? http://hisandherskitchentools.com/18-quart-Roaster-oven is that a good website for one?
