Worthy of a Special Occasion

Blue cheese crumbles and a creamy horseradish spread highlight the meaty slices of sirloin. Keep the steak tender by adding it towards the end of the 6-minute bake time.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 pizza half)

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 2  cups  vertically sliced onion
  • 1  (8-ounce) package presliced mushrooms
  • 3/4  teaspoon  salt, divided
  • 1  (8-ounce) boneless sirloin steak, trimmed
  • 1/4  teaspoon  coarsely ground black pepper
  • 3  (7-inch) refrigerated individual pizza crusts (such as Mama
  • Mary's)
  • 2  tablespoons  low-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  prepared horseradish
  • 1/3  cup  (about 1 1/2 ounces) crumbled blue cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450°.

Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add onion and mushrooms; cover and cook 3 minutes. Uncover and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt; remove onion mixture from pan.

Sprinkle steak with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add steak to pan; cook over medium-high heat 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand 5 minutes; cut steak diagonally across grain into thin slices.

Place crusts on a baking sheet. Bake at 450° for 3 minutes. Remove crusts from oven.

Combine mayonnaise and horseradish; spread each crust with about 2 teaspoons mayonnaise mixture. Arrange onion mixture evenly over crusts; bake at 450° for 2 minutes. Divide steak and cheese evenly among pizzas; bake an additional 2 minutes or until cheese melts. Cut each pizza in half.

I thought this recipe had good flavor, but keep in mind that the serving size is small on any of the CL pizza recipes. I used naan bread for the crust and found it to work well. I wish I would have cut the steak into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat. I probably would not make this again, but not because it wasn't good, only because there are so many other CL recipes out there that I find to be more satisfying.01/12/10

This was very tasty. I love steak and blue cheese together. Next time I would slice the steak thinner and cut into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat. I could not find the recommended pizza crust and used Pillsbury with just OK results. Homemade dough would be ideal.11/14/09
