1 Steak of Your Choice appx 8 oz
1/2 Large White Onion Julienne
2 Roasted Anaheim Chili Peppers Julienne
4 oz Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded
4 oz Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1/2 Cup Water
2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar

1 tsp Onion Powder

Directions:

Combine Water, Red Wine Vinegar, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, cilantro, cumin, corriander, cayanne, mustard powder, garlic powder, and onion powder in a medium sized mixing bowl.

Whisk ingredients together. This will be the marinade for the steak.

Place steak into bowl and marinate for 20-30 minutes flipping the steak halfway through.

Once steak is ready, cook on a grill or in a saute pan until rare.

Remove steak from heat and slice into strips appx 1/4 inch thick.

Preheat oven to 550 degrees
_{*if using a pizza stone, make sure the oven is preheating/heated for at least twenty minutes prior to putting the pizza into the oven.}

Sprinkle a thin layer of flour on a flat preparing surface, place dough ball onto flour and roll to get a light coating of flour.

Using a rolling pin or your hands, stretch dough out evenly to the size of the pan or stone.

Prepare the pan using either cornmeal or olive oil, and place dough onto pan.

Spread pesto sauce evenly over the pizza.

Sprinkle a thin layer of mozarella cheese across the pizza.

Place steak strips across the pizza.

Spread the remainder of the cheese across the pizza.

Place pizza in oven and cook for 9 to 12 minutes, until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted and has just begun to brown.

To enhance the flavor of the crust try a garlic oil glaze.
