Ingredients
A short list of fresh ingredients creates the bold flavors in this steak flatbread pizza.
1 ball pizza dough (about 12–14 oz)
½ cup creamy herb sauce
8 oz cooked steak, sliced
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1–2 jalapeños, sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Optional: 2 tbsp pizza sauce
Store-bought pizza dough works perfectly if you are short on time. Swap the creamy herb sauce for plain Alfredo or garlic cream. Ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak all work well—just slice thinly against the grain after cooking to medium-rare.
These eight clear steps walk you through building and baking the perfect steak flatbread pizza.
Step 1: Preheat and prep dough
Preheat your oven to 475°F and place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat. Lightly flour a surface and stretch the dough into a 12-inch round.
Step 2: Season and oil the dough
Brush the stretched dough lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the surface for extra flavor.
Step 3: Spread the creamy base
Spoon the creamy herb sauce onto the center of the dough. Use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.
Step 4: Add the sliced steak
Arrange the warm, thinly sliced steak pieces evenly across the creamy sauce. Space them so every slice of pizza gets some meat.
Step 5: Top with jalapeños
Scatter the jalapeño slices over the steak. Add as many or as few as you like depending on your preferred heat level.
Step 6: Sprinkle the cheese
Cover everything with shredded mozzarella, making sure the cheese reaches the edges of the toppings. This creates the signature melt and stretch.
Step 7: Bake until golden
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the hot baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the crust is puffed and golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 8: Rest and slice
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for two minutes. Slice into wedges and serve while the cheese is still stretchy and hot.
Tips & common mistakes
A few simple habits guarantee a crisp crust and perfectly cooked steak every time.
Stretch dough gently to avoid tearing holes
Use room-temperature dough for easier shaping
Slice steak after resting so juices stay inside

Here are the answers to the questions people ask most about this steak pizza.
Can I use store-bought pizza dough?
Yes. Store-bought dough works great and saves time. Just let it sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes so it stretches easily without springing back.
How do I keep the steak from overcooking?
Cook the steak to medium-rare before slicing, then add it to the pizza. The short bake time warms it without cooking it further.
Can I make this without jalapeños?
Absolutely. Skip the jalapeños for a milder version or replace them with mild banana peppers or roasted red peppers for color and flavor.
What creamy sauce works best?
A simple mix of sour cream, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper works perfectly. Alfredo or garlic cream sauce also taste excellent here.
