Steak . . . and Pizza. Ahhhhh

I’m serious when I say that pizza just rocks. And when I make mine, it HAS to have meat on it.
So, what genius came up the idea to PUT STEAK ON PIZZA? Whoever it is, I want to shake his hand.
And here is a really cool way to combine the amazing flavors of sirloin steak and scrumptious pizza.
1 pound cooked boneless beef top sirloin steak
   
1 tablespoon roasted garlic oil or olive oil
   
¼ cup sliced green onions
   
1 thin, prebaked (12-inch) pizza crust
   
3 tablespoons Thai peanut sauce
   
1 ½ cups reduced-fat or regular shredded pizza cheese blend (divided use)
   
½ cup shredded carrots
   
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Preheat oven to 425 F. Cut steak into 3-by- ½ -by- ¼ -inch pieces; set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil on medium-high until hot. Stir-fry onions 2 to 3 minutes or until soft. Add beef and stir-fry just until warm. Remove beef mixture from skillet with slotted spoon.

Place pizza crust on an ungreased large baking sheet. Spread with peanut sauce; sprinkle with 1/2 cup of cheese. Top with beef mixture; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with carrots and cilantro. Cut into wedges and serve immediately. Makes 8 wedges.

Ooh La La!

I like steaks.

I like croissants.

Why not put them together?

This recipe from Epicurious.com uses beef tenderloin and a yummy carmelized onion and horseradish mixture. Heaven.

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup prepared white horseradish

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, divided
3 1-inch-thick beef tenderloin steaks

3 medium onions, thinly sliced
8 ounces large shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps thinly sliced (about 5 cups) 1 cup beef broth

4 large croissants, halved horizontally, lightly toasted
2 cups arugula

Preparation

Mix mayonnaise and horseradish in small bowl to blend.Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle tenderloin steaks with salt and pepper. Add steaks to skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Using tongs, transfer steaks to work surface.

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until dark brown, about 25 minutes. Add mushrooms; sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add broth; boil until juices are reduced to glaze, stirring occasionally, about 1 minute. Season onion mixture to taste with salt and pepper.

Place 1 croissant bottom, cut side up, on each of 4 plates. Spread each with horseradish mayonnaise and top with 1/2 cup arugula. Thinly slice steaks and divide among croissants. Top with onion mixture. Spread remaining mayonnaise on cut side of croissant tops. Place tops on sandwiches.

Steak Made Easy

I like any recipe with the word “easy” in it.

Here’s a slightly different twist on the old standby casserole. I’d suggest using the boneless ribeyes with this one.

Let me know what you think when you try it!

EASY STEAK CASSEROLE  
1 can French onion soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of celery soup (do not dilute)
6 rib-eye steaks
1 sm. can mushrooms or fresh mushrooms, optional
Mix soups together in 9×13 pan. Place steaks either cut into strips or left whole into pan. Cover with mushrooms. Cover pan with foil. Bake in slow oven, 200-250 degrees, 4-5 hours or bake at 350 degrees approximately 2-3 hours. Serve over rice, noodles or mashed potatoes.
