recipe: steak and horseradish cheddar pizza

i'm still on my pizza kick. this was Friday night's inspiration, inspired by the shaved steak in the butcher counter at the store and a love of horseradish. MMMMM.


ingredients list:
- 1/4 lb of shaved steak
- 1 recipe for pizza dough or fresh store-bought
- 1 cup alfredo sauce
- 1/2 a red onion, diced
- 1/2 a large green pepper, diced
- 1-1.5 cups sliced mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-1.5 cups horseradish cheddar cheese
- 1-1.5 cups mozz cheese
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder, divided
- 1/2 tsp parsley
- pinch salt
- olive oil

to make: mix 1-2 tbsp olive oil, salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and parsley in small bowl and set aside. heat a large skillet on medium heat; preheat the oven (with pizza stone in the oven also) to 450 degrees; and heat outdoor grill over medium heat (only do this last step if you are finishing the pizza on the grill). heat 1-2 tbsp olive oil in the skillet, and sautee onion until it begins to brown, adding mushrooms and pepper for the last 3-4 minutes of cooking and the garlic for the last minute.

roll out pizza dough on lightly floured surface. lightly flour the hot pizza stone, then carefully transfer the dough to the hot stone. spread alfredo sauce onto the dough, then pile on first some cheese, the meat, all the veggies, more cheese, and the some garlic powder and black pepper (and any other desired seasonings). bake in preheated oven for about 12-13 minutes.

you can fully cook the pizza in the oven for a total of 14-16 minutes, or if you want to grill it, carefully transfer it to the preheated grill and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the bottom of the crust starts to get a nice char to it. brush the crust with the garlic olive oil mixture within the last few minutes of cooking.

LOVED this. the alfredo + the horseradish became super-creamy and saucy together, and the grill flavor was awesome w/ the steak. it was a little too horseradishy for kyle, but a lil more mozz with it would mello that out. 7*******.
