My Margherita Pizza-Style Steak recipe was entered in the 2015 Certified Angus Beef brand Recipe Contest. As an Ambassador to the conference, I received a discounted pass and I will receive compensation each time my discount code is used. I received no further compensation for writing this post. Opinions are my own.
Do you plan on grilling steak this summer? I didn’t, until I tried Certified Angus Beef brand. Cooking steaks at home was always my culinary downfall. Sounds strange coming from someone who at one time worked in a steakhouse.
Broiling steak over an open flame for customers is a lot like grilling but you don’t get to experiment with flavors. Scratch trying rubs on that ribeye or marinades on less tender cuts.
Topping that juicy steak with barbecue sauce or any sauce was not what I had in mind, either.
Margherita Pizza-Style Steak layers ripe tomatoes, basil, garlic and fresh Mozzarella over grilled strip steak. It is a meal in itself. Delicious!
Margherita Pizza is so simple yet so flavorful! It is one of my favorites. I thought, “Why not on steak?”
You need to use sweet, juicy romas of course. Only the best for these steaks!
Freshly picked basil is my favorite scent! I love when people walk up to me and tell me how much they love the scent, too. Season the air with sizzling steak, fresh herbs and garlic there can be no way you’re not hungry!
Ingredients
- 2 6-ounce strip steaks
- 4 Roma tomatoes, sliced thin
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 8-ounce ball of Fresh Mozzarella thinly sliced
- 1/4 freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Mix together garlic, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Lightly brush both sides of steaks.
- Grill steaks on hot grill until desired temperature is reached.
- Remove steaks. Top with tomato slices, Parmesan, fresh basil then fresh Mozzarella. Melt cheese under oven broiler or return to grill to melt.
- Remove and allow steaks to rest about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with oregano. Serve.
Notes
Steaks can be cut in half and served as 3 ounce portions.
