Step 1
Start by popping the steak in the freezer for about 30 minutes—this makes it easier to slice thinly. While you wait, melt some butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the onion, sprinkle with a bit of salt, and sauté, stirring often, for about 4 minutes. Then add a tablespoon of oil along with the bell peppers and mushrooms, cooking until they’re tender, around 8 minutes. Once done, take the veggies out and set them aside. Give the skillet a quick clean and let it cool down a bit.

Step 2
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Take the steak out of the freezer and slice it as thin as you can. Season the slices with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder. Heat the remaining two tablespoons of oil in the skillet over medium-high heat, then add the steak. Cook it until it’s no longer pink, about 5 minutes, then remove and drain any juices.

Step 3
Place your pizza crusts on foil or baking sheets. Spread about a quarter cup of sour cream on each, then sprinkle with minced garlic and Parmesan cheese. Layer the cooked steak evenly over the crusts, followed by the sautéed veggies. Top everything off with pieces of Provolone cheese.

Step 4
Pop the pizzas into the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust edges are nicely browned, around 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven to keep the crust crispy instead of using a microwave.
