No reviews

This bold and savory Carne Asada and Cebollitas Pizza combines marinated grilled steak, sweet onions, and melty mozzarella on a crispy crust — finished with creamy avocado, fresh herbs, and lime for a Mexican-inspired twist on classic pizza.

  • Total Time: 42 minutes (plus marinating)
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 chile de árbol, stemmed
  • 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup Maggi sauce (or soy sauce)
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 8 oz flank steak (or skirt steak)
  • 3 spring onions or 1 bunch scallions (5–6), trimmed to bite-size
  • 8 oz pizza dough
  • All-purpose flour (for dusting)
  • 1/2 cup tomato pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the Marinade: Toast the chile de árbol in a dry skillet for 1 minute per side. Blend with garlic, Worcestershire, Maggi (or soy) sauce, and lime juice. Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade.
  2. Marinate the Steak: Place steak in a zip-lock bag or dish and coat with remaining marinade. Refrigerate 2 hours to overnight.
  3. Cook the Steak: Remove steak from marinade. Broil or grill 3 minutes per side until rare to medium rare. Rest 5–10 minutes, then slice against the grain into 1–2 inch pieces.
  4. Marinate the Onions: Toss spring onions in the reserved 1/4 cup marinade.
  5. Prebake the Crust: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Stretch dough into a 10–12″ circle on a floured surface. Bake on a pizza stone or cast-iron pan for 10 minutes.
  6. Assemble the Pizza: Spread pizza sauce over crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Add 3/4 cup mozzarella, then the steak and onions. Top with remaining cheese.
  7. Bake Again: Return to oven and bake for 12–14 minutes until cheese is melted and crust is golden.
  8. Garnish & Serve: Top with sliced avocado, cilantro, scallions, and lime wedges. Drizzle with reserved onion marinade.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add extra chiles de árbol to the marinade.
  • Substitute skirt steak with ribeye for a richer flavor.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in a hot skillet or air fryer.
