# Required Ingredients:

01 - 1 prepared pizza dough (about 12 inches)
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons cornmeal (for dusting)

→ Steak & Vegetables

04 - 8 oz ribeye steak, thinly sliced

10 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
11 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Cheese & Toppings

12 - 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
13 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
14 - 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese (optional)
15 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 450°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
02 - Dust a pizza peel or baking sheet with cornmeal. Stretch or roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch round and place on the prepared surface. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil.
03 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced steak and cook for 2-3 minutes until just browned. Remove steak and set aside.
04 - In the same skillet, add bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
05 - Evenly distribute half of the cheese mixture over the pizza dough. Top with steak, sautéed peppers and onions, then sprinkle remaining cheese over everything.
06 - Slide the pizza onto the hot stone or bake on the baking sheet for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
07 - Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley (if using), slice, and serve hot.
