👩🏻‍🍳 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!

🥘 Ingredients Needed

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

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.

🧊 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.

• 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!

• 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!
