Asian-Style Steak Pizza

Pierce the steak all over with a fork. In a large plastic bag, place the steak, the soy sauce and the garlic salt. Seal the bag and toss it about, coating the steak with the marinade. Place in fridge for 2 to 4 hours.

Heat an indoor or outdoor grill to a medium high. Grill the steak to your preferred doneness. We like medium rare. So delish. Let the meat rest 10 minutes before thinly slicing.

In the meantime, preheat oven to 400ºF. If you have a pizza stone, go ahead and preheat it as well with a small handful of cornmeal on it.

On a floured surface, roll out each half of the dough to get a 10-inch pizza. Spread 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce on each crust, followed by the carrot ribbons. Sprinkle a little bit of the cheese over the carrots if you want to. Which you probably should want to.

Slide the pizza onto the preheated stone and bake until the dough has browned on the edges, about 12 minutes. (Depending on your oven it may be less. Check it at 8 minutes.) Remove pizza from oven and layer the steak slices on it. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the steak, flip the oven to broil and cook until the cheese is browned and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove from oven and garnish with scallions and peanuts!

Note: The reason we don’t bake the pizza with the steak on it is to keep it at that wonderful medium rareness. So we broil the cheese instead. And life is grand.
