Are you craving pizza? If you're anything like me, pizza is a personal favorite. With this delicious recipe, you no longer have to wait for your cheat day to indulge in a gooey, cheesy slice.
Well known in Paleo circles, meatza is a great alternative to crust. I find the eye of round roll thinly sliced at a local farmer's market in Hollywood. You will want to marinate the meat overnight to get the best tasting crust possible.
This is the only pizza we allow in our house.🍕🍕🍕
MARINADE:
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp. crushed garlic
- 1 tsp. chopped basil
- 1/2 tsp. chopped oregano
- 1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper
INGREDIENTS:
- 2-3 lbs. thin cut beef eye of round roll
- 1 cup low-sodium marinara sauce
- 8 oz. shredded no fat mozzarella cheese
- 1 green pepper
- 8 oz. sliced mushrooms
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place the eye of round roll on a large cutting board. Sprinkle one side with salt and beat with a tenderizing hammer...(harder!!) Turn the meat over and beat until meat is 1/4 inch thick.
2. Mix the marinade ingredients. Place the meat in a ziplock bag, add marinade and seal. Marinate several hours or overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spread meat on a large cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.
4. While beef is in the oven, sauté peppers, mushrooms and onions. Hear the marinara sauce in a saucepan.
5. Remove beef from oven and pour off the fat and blot dry with a paper towel.
6. Spread marinara sauce over the beef. Add mozzarella and toppings. Feel free to add any additional toppings, I used goat cheese on mine.
7. Bake for 7 minutes. When the cheese is melted, remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
8. Slice and enjoy!
