📝 Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp unflavored collagen powder or pork rind powder (for structure)
- Pinch of salt
For the Toppings:
- 4–6 oz cooked steak, sliced thin (ribeye, sirloin, or leftover steak)
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
- Optional: 1 tbsp beef tallow or bacon grease (for extra richness)
- Optional: 1 tbsp cream cheese or ricotta (if you want a “sauce” base)
👨🍳 Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. - Make the Crust:
- Melt mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave (30-second intervals), or over low heat on the stove until smooth.
- Mix in egg, collagen/pork rind powder, and salt. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Spread the dough onto parchment in a 10-inch circle or rectangle (about ¼” thick).
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden brown.
- Prepare the Toppings:
- While the crust bakes, cook your steak (if not pre-cooked). Slice thinly.
- Optional: Spread cream cheese/ricotta on the crust after baking for a “sauce” layer.
- Assemble & Bake Again:
- Top crust with steak slices and shredded cheese.
- Return to oven and bake another 5–7 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Rest & Serve:
Let cool for 3–5 minutes. Slice and serve hot!

💡 Notes & Tips

- Want more fat? Drizzle with bacon grease or add extra melted cheese.
- Great for leftovers: Use leftover steak, roast beef, or even ground beef.
- Make mini pizzas: Divide crust dough into smaller circles for individual servings.

❓ Q/A
Q: Can I use ground beef instead of steak?
A: Absolutely! Brown and season it, then use as topping. It’s delicious and budget-friendly.
Q: Can I freeze it?
A: Yes. Pre-bake the crust and freeze it plain or topped (before final bake). Reheat in the oven or air fryer.
Q: Can I use other cheeses?
A: Yes — provolone, cheddar, Gruyère, or a blend of hard cheeses all work well.
Q: What if I don’t eat dairy?
A: Without cheese, the crust won’t hold together. But you could make a steak “pizza bowl” with layered meats instead.
Q: How do I store leftovers?
A: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to keep it crispy.
