    👩🏻‍🍳 Why You'll Love This Recipe

    Pizza...it is so versatile! We have pizza night almost every Friday night. You can do a gazillion things with pizza, but we find ourselves always defaulting to the same old cheese pizza, sometimes adding pepperoni or mushrooms. So a couple of weeks ago I decided to be CRAAAAAZY, and choose one of those gazillion options to try!

    Beef and blue cheese is one of my favorite flavor combos. Of course, neither one would be considered an inexpensive ingredient, but all-in-all this pizza ended up costing us less than pizzeria pizza, so it was still a win!

    This artisan pizza is so easy to make and I'll go out on a limb and say it tastes even better than delivery! There's something about homemade pizza that really hits the spot, so if you're looking for something that's relatively low-effort with delicious results, this blue cheese pizza is right up your alley!

    For another fantastic steak recipe, take a look at this Garlic Butter Steak Bites Recipe. Want more pizza? Make this yummy Crock Pot Pizza for an easy option. And if you want to add some extra flavor to this pizza, try a Homemade Steak Seasoning!

    🥘 Ingredients Needed

    Overhead shot of ingredients- cooked steak strips, pizza dough, blue cheese crumbles, shredded mozzarella, onion, and sliced mushroom.
    With versatile ingredients, this delicious blue cheese pizza is super fun and easy to make!

    For a complete list of ingredients, please refer to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    • onion - this is an optional ingredient, but it adds so much delicious flavor that I highly recommend it.
    • mushrooms - just like the onion the mushrooms aren't mandatory, but they pair so well with the steak and blue cheese!
    • whole wheat pizza dough - just a little bit healthier than classic pizza dough, and this artisan pizza is packed with so much flavor you won't even notice the difference.
    • mozzarella - even though there's blue cheese, you also need a milder cheese to act as a base.
    • steak strips - while steak isn't the most inexpensive ingredient, the flavor it adds is well worth the price.
    • blue cheese crumbles - even if you aren't a fan of blue cheese, you'll love it on this pizza!

    🔪 Instructions

    Making this artisan pizza can become a fun activity to do with the family!

    Please note: This is an overview of the instructions. You'll find the complete instructions in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    1. Slice the onion into strips, about ½ inch.
    2. Heat some olive oil in a pan and cook the onion with a little bit of salt and pepper.
    3. When the onions start to become translucent, add the mushrooms and cook until soft.
    4. Roll out your pizza dough to about 16 inches in diameter, using flour to prevent sticking.
    5. Place the dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
    6. Top with mozzarella and steak tips.
    7. Distribute the onion and mushroom mixture if using.
    8. Sprinkle blue cheese crumbles over top, then bake for 20-25 minutes at 400 F until crust is golden brown.

    👪 FAQs

    What cheese is best for pizza?

    Mozzarella is typically used on pizza, since it has a mild, salty flavor and melts consistently. Other cheeses like cheddar, provolone, or even goat cheese would also be delicious. Try switching it up or using different combinations of cheese to see what you like best!

    Is blue cheese good on pizza?

    Absolutely! To use it as the main cheese might be a little overpowering, but on this steak and blue cheese pizza, the sprinkling of blue cheese crumbles brings through that delicious and pungent blue cheese taste just the right amount.

    What goes with blue cheese?

    One of the most common pairings for blue cheese is mushrooms, which is why they work so well on this artisan pizza. For other blue cheese serving suggestions, try pairing it with figs, pears, or walnuts.

    Is blue cheese healthy?

    Blue cheese has a lot of good vitamins and minerals, but like many dairy products it also has a decent amount of fat, salt, and cholesterol. Like all things, it's best to eat it in moderation!

    🧊 Storage

    Leftover pizza is a great thing to have on hand. If you wrap up your leftovers well, they should last in the fridge for 4-5 days and make for great lunches (or breakfast if that's your speed!).

    To reheat pizza, you could pop it in the microwave and cook until it's heated through, or you could heat your oven to 350 degrees F and bake until the cheese is nice and melty and everything is heated through.

    You can also freeze leftover pizza for 2-3 months. Just like from the fridge, you can bake your pizza right from the freezer. Just be sure to give it a couple more minutes so it gets fully heated.

    💭 Helpful Tips

    • Use a pre-made pizza shell to speed up the preparation process even more! Just be sure to alter your baking temperature and time to fit what's listed on the packaging.
    • Need to cook up some steak to use on this pizza? Learn how to cook steak on the stove top. It only takes 10 minutes!
    • Cook extra steak to cut into strips and freeze for your next pizza night, to use in this Steak and Potato Salad, or to toss into a green salad for a delicious lunch. OR, you can cook enough to be good for another night's dinner!
    • You can purchase pre-cooked, frozen steak strips, or even something like sandwich steaks to streamline making this artisan pizza.

    Steak and blue cheese pizza is a delicious and elegant take on an easy end-of-the-week dinner that will have you wondering why you've been placing orders for delivery!

    📖 Variations

    • If blue cheese really won't do, you can easily swap it out for some feta or Parmesan instead!
    • You can substitute browned ground beef for the steak if desired.
    • Drizzle your finished pizza with Worcestershire sauce, balsamic glaze, or even both! These sauces pair deliciously with the ingredients of this steak and blue cheese pizza.
    • Top your pizza with arugula for an extra burst of green flavor.
    • You can also use red onion instead of your classic yellow or white.
    • Some honey drizzled over top can also deepen the flavor of this pizza and add some sweetness!

    🥗 Suggested Side Dishes

    Even though this blue cheese pizza is plenty filling and flavorful on its own, try it paired with one of these delicious sides for a truly hearty meal!
