Ingredients

• 1 pound Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
• 8 ounces Lean Sirloin Steak
• 0.5 cup Heart-Healthy BBQ Sauce
• 1 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
• 0.5 thinly sliced Red Onion
• 1 small, thinly sliced Red Bell Pepper
• 1 cup Fresh Spinach
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1 clove Minced Garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh Basil
• 1 tablespoon Cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

Thinly slice the lean sirloin steak against the grain. Season the slices with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, then add the steak slices. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until just browned. Remove from heat.

Step 4

On a clean counter, sprinkle the cornmeal to prevent sticking. Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a round shape about 12 inches in diameter.

Step 5

Carefully remove the heated stone or baking sheet from the oven. Place the rolled-out dough on it.

Step 6

Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle a half cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 8

Arrange the cooked steak slices, red onion, red bell pepper, and spinach over the cheese.

Step 9

Top with the remaining cheese.

Step 10

Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle with fresh basil, then let it cool slightly before slicing.

Step 12

Serve hot and enjoy a heart-healthy take on classic BBQ pizza!
