Some fillet tail, cut and lightly dusted with Red Eye Express then pan fried to rare. Mushrooms pan fried in butter, dried and a little Red Eye applied too. Mozzarella that had been cold-smoked over oak a couple of weeks and sealed to let the flavours penetrate. Cooked a 375C raised into the dome, turning every 2 mins. Washed down with a South African pinotage, great way to spend a Sunday evening.

Loaded onto the Superpeel ready to be deployed:

Cooked and ready to cut:

Base looking good:

A great steak pizza wine:

    Holy smokes.  Do you deliver from darkest England to TX?  I think you just raised the bar on pizza cooks around here.

    Great work. Envious of anyone who can achieve a circular crust, but you're soaring way past that.

    Thanks folks. I was particularly pleased with the oak-smoked moz, will definitely be doing that again.

    @jdkeithbge very generous of you, Eggers such as @SciAggie, @Carolina Q and @westernbbq (to name only three) have bars at a level I still aspire to. And unfortunately delivery is not yet rolled out past SWMBO's dinner plate. :)

    Beautiful pie! Not sure I've ever had a steak pizza, need to try that!

    Ha! Flattered to be mentioned by someone with your skills and in the company of a WFO owner and a Roccbox guy who makes 30 sourdough pies at a time! Me with my yeast dough and "vintage" electric oven (though more recently, back to my large egg). Thanks, Adam!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I really like steak and mushroom pizza, the addition of redeye express gives the pizza an umami style taste, so I'd recommend trying it out. Even in your oven :). In the UK, fillet tail is relatively inexpensive as butcher's can't sell it off as fillet (too thin). The meat on that pizza was about $2.

    @Hoster05 thanks. The dough recipe is in this blog post, derived from a Dan Lepard recipe:


    I shaped the crust using the approach below:


    Finally, this is how I cook pizza in the Egg. There are many ways of cooking pizza, with different configurations of platesetter and so forth, this one works for me:

    Great cook. 

    Love me some pizza. 

    And love me some pinotage. 

    How does that one compare to others that you have had?

    The solution to: "Shall we have steak or pizza" is upon us.  Fine job.

    @Foghorn it's a very good everyday drinking Pinotage. Lanzerac do an estate reserve too, which is very special, up there with some of the best we've had, e.g. Kanankop estate.

    @nolaegghead I laughed out loud when I read that, nice one. SWMBO also chuckled.

    @Nature Boy really digging the umami effect that Redeye gives to a steak and mushroom combo. Takes the flavours to a whole new level.

    Thanks @Stormbringer. We have fairly limited access to pinotage here in the US. I can get a few. They go great with anything BBQ.

    Can you get Qupe Syrah? I’ve found that to be a decent all-rounder BBQ wine.
