Fillet tail steak and mushroom pizza, bourbon baked bean base sauce (with pics)

I enjoyed a bowl of smoked bourbon baked beans at the weekend, paired perfectly with a juicy reverse seared rib-eye steak. What to do with the leftover beans though? I had planned to make a pizza during the week. A steak pizza for that matter.

In a moment of culinary creativity, SWMBO blended the remaining beans into a sauce as a passata substitute. It resulted in one of the best tasting meat pizzas that we had.

We used fillet tail for the steak ... no, I hadn't heard of it either. It's the end of the fillet, and really good value. It was rubbed with Dizzy Pig Cow Lick rub.

The guide is just how I do it, I know that there are maaaaaaany other ways as well.

    @Legume thanks, this was partly inspired by the stuck in a rut thing recently, and someone else ... @SGH I think? ... did something with pizzas in a pie dish.

    I did a Stromboli experiment that turned out dynamite. 
    On a separate note, great looking pies ole buddy.
