Carne Asada Pizza
- 12 ounces refrigerated fresh pizza dough
- 2 small poblano peppers
- 8 ounces flank steak, trimmed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Cooking spray
- 1 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rings
- 1/2 cup lower-sodium marinara sauce
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from 1 can chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal
- 1 ounce part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 ounce cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 ounce queso fresco, crumbled (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 cup chopped seeded tomato
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons minced red onion
- Cilantro sprigs (optional)
- Remove dough from refrigerator. Let stand at room temperature, covered, for 30 minutes.
- Preheat broiler to high.
- Arrange poblanos on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil 8 minutes or until charred on all sides, turning occasionally. Wrap peppers in foil; close tightly. Let stand 15 minutes. Peel and seed peppers; discard skin, membrane, and seeds. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips.
- Place a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet in oven. Preheat oven to 500u0b0 (keep pizza stone or baking sheet in oven as it preheats).
- Sprinkle steak with cumin, chipotle powder, and salt. Heat a grill pan over high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add steak to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until well marked. Let stand 10 minutes. Thinly slice steak across the grain.
- Add onion rings to pan; grill 4 minutes on each side or until well marked. Place in a bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Combine marinara and adobo sauce.
- Roll dough into a 15 x 9-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Pierce dough liberally with a fork. Sprinkle cornmeal on pizza stone. Place dough on hot stone; bake at 500u0b0 for 5 minutes. Remove stone from oven. Spread sauce mixture over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border; top evenly with mozzarella and cheddar. Arrange poblano and onion slices over pizza; top with steak. Sprinkle with queso fresco. Return stone to oven; bake pizza 9 minutes or until crust is done.
- Combine tomato, juice, and minced red onion; sprinkle tomato mixture over pizza. Top with cilantro sprigs, if desired.
