This Wagyu Steak Pizza is all about bold beef flavor, crisp crust, and clean execution in a wood fired oven. A Creekstone Farms Wagyu strip steak is simply seasoned, seared hot in cast iron, and cooked to a perfect medium-rare before being diced and layered onto fresh pizza dough. Sweet, deeply caramelized onions bring balance, while a blend of provolone and mozzarella delivers both melt and character.
Baked in a wood fired oven at high heat, this pizza develops a blistered crust with just the right chew. Bianco pizza sauce keeps things light and bright, letting the steak and onions do the heavy lifting. The result is a steakhouse-inspired pizza with crisp edges, a tender center, and rich, savory flavor in every bite.
This is a great option when you want something impressive but approachable—perfect for backyard pizza nights, game-day gatherings, or anytime you want to put your grill to work in a new way.

Directions
Start by seasoning the Wagyu strip steak lightly with Worcestershire sauce, followed by Lone Star Steak Seasoning. Keep it simple so the beef stays front and center.
Preheat the wood fired oven inside your pellet grill to 450°F with cast iron set inside. Add a small amount of duck fat to the hot pan, then sear the steak until well browned. Cook to an internal temperature of about 125°F in the thickest part, then pull and rest briefly.
In the same oven, melt butter in a skillet and add the sliced onions. Season with Jacobsen Kosher Sea Salt and cook until fully softened with light char and deep caramelization. Remove from heat once reduced and fragrant.
Trim off excess fat from the rested steak and dice into small pieces so it distributes evenly on the pizza.
Stretch the dough into a thin round, leaving a slight rim for the crust. Dust a pizza peel with semolina and place the dough on top, working quickly so it doesn’t stick.
Spread Bianco pizza sauce evenly over the dough. Add the steak and onions first, then finish with a blend of provolone and mozzarella so the cheese browns properly.
Bake in the wood fired oven at 450°F for about 6 minutes, rotating as needed. Pull when the crust is crisp, the cheese is browned, and the pizza holds its structure. Rest a couple minutes before slicing.
Recipe Note
Recipe FAQ
Can I cook this without a wood fired oven?
Yes, use a pizza stone in a pellet grill or high-heat grill setup.
Why pull the steak at 125°F?
It finishes cooking slightly as it rests and bakes, staying tender.
Do I need to proof the dough overnight?
No, a 3-hour proof works fine, but overnight adds flavor.
Why add cheese after the steak?
This helps the cheese brown evenly and prevents sogginess.
Can I substitute another cut of steak?
Yes, but choose a tender cut like strip or ribeye.
