Ingredients

  • Steak: 8 ounces about 227 grams of lean beef steak, preferably sirloin or tenderloin.
  • Pizza Dough: 1 pre-made whole grain pizza dough around 16 ounces or 450 grams.
  • Tomato Sauce: 1/2 cup about 120 ml.
  • Mozzarella Cheese: 1 cup shredded (about 115 grams).
  • Bell Peppers: 1/2 cup sliced (about 75 grams).
  • Red Onion: 1/4 cup sliced (around 30 grams).
  • Spinach: 1/2 cup about 15 grams.
  • Cherry Tomatoes: 1/4 cup halved (around 40 grams).
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon about 15 ml.
  • Spices: Salt pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste.

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to a toasty 475°F (245°C).
  • Prepare Steak: Season your steak with salt, pepper, and a pinch of Italian seasoning. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Once hot, place the steak and cook for about 3 minutes each side for medium-rare. Remove, let it rest for a few minutes, then thinly slice.
  • Roll Out the Dough: Take your whole grain pizza dough and roll it into your desired shape. Remember, the thinner the crust, the crispier it’ll be!
  • Sauce it Up: Evenly spread the tomato sauce across your rolled-out pizza dough.
  • Toppings Galore: Begin with a layer of mozzarella cheese. After that, arrange the steak slices, bell peppers, red onion, spinach, and cherry tomatoes. Feel free to play around with the order; this is your High Protein Steak Pizza, after all!
  • Bake to Perfection: Slide your masterpiece into the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the edges are golden brown and the cheese is all melty and bubbly.
  • Cool and Serve: After baking, let your pizza cool for a couple of minutes. Slice it up and serve!

Notes

Alternate Protein: While this is a steak pizza, you can always swap out the steak for chicken or tofu for a twist.
Spice it Up: Love a kick? Add some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
Grilled Veggies: If you have time, grill the veggies before adding them. It’ll give an extra smoky flavor to your High Protein Steak Pizza.
