Steak Salad Pizza with Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing

OK, I wrote this post way back at the end of August, saved it as a draft and then never posted it.  I thought for sure I had, but it’s still showing up as a draft.  For some reason, my apple, Gorgonzola, artichoke pizza post from a few weeks ago has gone viral today, over 700 hits on my blog today and most on that post.  I had one fellow blogger, Kathy, ask if I had any other fun pizza recipes.  I was going to reference the shrimp pizza on the grill and then this steak pizza, when I realized this steak pizza never made it.  So, long story not so short, here is that old post.  This pizza was fabulous!  Although, it’s much more of a summer pizza.  Enjoy!

I had so much fun making the shrimp pizza a few weeks ago that I thought I’d try another one this week.  Again, I used a Boboli thin pizza crust instead of making one from scratch.  I also used ranch dressing on half the pizza instead of the blue cheese dressing, as my hubby does not like blue cheese (what can I say, he’s weird).  This pizza turned out great!  I loved it and would make it again next week.  Even my 9-year old son liked it, and he’s usually into cheese pizza, no toppings.  You could also mix things up a bit, adding almost any type of veggie that you like and leaving off those you don’t.  Enjoy!

Steak Salad Pizza:

1 Boboli thin pizza crust

olive oil

1 New York strip steak

salt/pepper

1 1/2 cup mozzarella shredded cheese

3 cups chopped lettuce of your choice

chopped tomatoe

chopped onion

chopped mushrooms

chopped red pepper

chopped green pepper

Prepare crust by brushing with olive oil.  Cook steaks on the grill to your taste after rubbing with some salt and pepper.  Let steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.  Cover crust with mozzarella cheese.  Top with your favorite toppings.  I used tomatoes, onion, fresh mushrooms, red and green peppers.  Top with slices of the steak.  Bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until mozzarella cheese is melted.  Remove from oven.  Top with chopped lettuce and drizzle with blue cheese dressing.  Slice and enjoy!

Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing:

1 cup crumbled blue cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup buttermilk

2 t. white wine vinegar

salt/pepper to taste

Whisk together well.  Drizzle on top of pizza.
