Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb steak, sliced thin
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- 4 flatbreads
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Ensure the rack is in the middle position for even cooking.
- Pat the steak slices dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, quickly sear the steak slices for 1-2 minutes per side. The goal is to achieve a nice golden-brown exterior while keeping the meat medium-rare. Remove steak and set aside to rest.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté sliced mushrooms until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Lay out the flatbreads on a large baking sheet. Brush each flatbread lightly with olive oil.
- Distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the flatbreads, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Slice the rested steak into thin strips. Arrange the steak slices, sautéed mushrooms, and roasted red pepper slices on top of the cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the flatbread are crispy and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice each flatbread into quarters and serve immediately.
Tips
- Pat your steak dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect sear and prevent steaming.
- Use a hot skillet for searing steak to develop a beautiful golden-brown crust.
- Don't overcrowd the mushrooms while sautéing - this helps them brown instead of steam.
- Let the steak rest after cooking to retain its juices and ensure maximum tenderness.
- Brush flatbreads lightly with olive oil for extra crispiness and flavor.
- Watch the flatbread closely in the final minutes of baking to prevent burning.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze or fresh herbs after baking.
