Steak jazzes up Thai-inspired pizza
11:07 AM CST on Wednesday, February 21, 2007
Many folks look forward to a good steak, so tonight broil boneless beef top sirloins (about 11/4 pounds each). For ¾ -inch-thick steaks, broil 9 to 12 minutes; for 1-inch steaks, 16 to 21 minutes for medium-rare to medium.
Serve the steaks with roasted potato wedges tossed with olive oil and fresh chopped rosemary. Add sugar snap peas, mixed greens and sourdough bread. Enjoy plums for dessert.
Later, for a change of pace, Thai-style Steak Pizza crosses cuisines, teaming traditional Thai flavors with steak. To keep up the theme, Bangkok Fruit Salad is good alongside the pizza. In a serving bowl, combine 1 ripe papaya and 1 ripe mango (both cut into 1/2-inch cubes), 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint and 1 tablespoon spicy Thai chile sauce (if desired); toss to combine and garnish with fresh mint leaves. End your meal with tapioca pudding.

Preheat oven to 425 F. Cut steak into 3-by- ½ -by- ¼ -inch pieces; set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil on medium-high until hot. Stir-fry onions 2 to 3 minutes or until soft. Add beef and stir-fry just until warm. Remove beef mixture from skillet with slotted spoon.
Place pizza crust on an ungreased large baking sheet. Spread with peanut sauce; sprinkle with 1/2 cup of cheese. Top with beef mixture; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with carrots and cilantro. Cut into wedges and serve immediately. Makes 8 wedges.
