Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 lb picanha steak trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 tbsp honey for glaze
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup riced cauliflower for crust base
- 1 large egg beaten
- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese for crust
- 1 tsp dried oregano for seasoning
- 0.5 tsp salt divided
- 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
Notes
Storage: Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 375°F for 5-8 minutes to restore crispiness. Make-Ahead: The beef glaze can be made 2 days ahead. The entire pizza can be assembled and baked ahead, then reheated. Variations: Add sliced bell peppers or red onions on top before the final bake for extra flavor. For a dairy-free version, omit the cheeses and use a vegan cheese alternative. Serve with a side of fresh arugula salad with a lemon vinaigrette.
