Grilled Steak with Pizza Toppings

Ease of preparation rating: Medium

Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

2 pounds (900 grams) beef flank

1 ½ cups (360ml) tomato sauce

1 cup (240ml) mozzarella, grated

1 tablespoon (15ml) dried oregano

1 teaspoon (5ml) dried thyme

2 teaspoons (10ml) dried chili flakes

Salt and pepper, to taste

Drizzle of olive oil

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

Method

Butterfly the steak by slicing through it lengthwise until you reach 1 cm from the other side, then opening it like a book.

Put the meat between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound it with a meat mallet or rolling pin until it is thin and flat.

Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil.

Heat grill over high heat.

Once the grill is hot, place the steak on the grill.

Sear for 4-5 minutes, then flip.

Once flipped, cover the grilled side with tomato sauce.

Sprinkle garlic over the sauce, then add cheese evenly over the whole steak.

Add oregano, chili flakes and thyme, and cover the garnished steak with an upside down baking tray.

Continue cooking until the meat is done to your liking, and the cheese is melted.

Remove from grill, and let rest for 2-3 minutes.

Slice into even portions and serve hot.
