Grilled Pizza with Marinated Flank Steak & Stonewall Kitchen Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce

GRILLED PIZZA with steak? Marinated Flank Steak Grilled Pizza with Stonewall Kitchen's Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce will blow you away with a totally different taste sensation!

Stonewall Kitchen Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce

I was getting bored with the same old red sauce pizza. There had to be something else, something new and exciting I wasn't thinking of. While wandering aimlessly one day through my local specialty supermarket, Dave's Marketplace, I noticed Stonewall Kitchen's Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce on the shelf. I picked it up and thought....hmmm? I wonder what kind of pizza I could dream up with this sauce?

I started this grilled pizza with Rhode Island's own Federal Hill Pizza Dough white pizza dough. You can also follow my Homemade Pizza Dough recipe and rolling directions, or buy fresh dough from your local bakery or supermarket.

I grilled the dough on one side only, then topped it with Stonewall Kitchen Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce. It's awesome stuff! Just spread it around right out of the bottle. Pour it on nice and thick!

While I was at Dave's Market, I spied some medium-rare marinated flank steak in the deli case. You can buy a similar cut from any good supermarket deli, or cook your own using strip steak marinated and grilled in your favorite sauce. Cut it across the grain in strips and lay it on top of the pizza with Stonewall Kitchen sauce. Then top with roasted veggies. Use anything that makes you happy. I used red & orange peppers, onions, zucchini, mushrooms and eggplant.

The last step is to top it with a blend of cheeses and fresh mozzarella cheese. I sprinkled it with some Mrs Dash Garlic & Herb seasoning and then it went right back on the grill! Awesome I tell you, awesome! Try it sometime, you'll love the Stonewall Kitchen Maple Chipotle Sauce.

Marinated Flank Steak Grilled Pizza with Stonewall Kitchen's Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce

• 1 - 16 ounce ball of good pizza dough, white or wheat (see my Homemade Pizza Dough recipe)
• 2 Tbsp cornmeal
• 2 Tbsp Olive oil, virgin or flavored garlic oil
• 3/4 to 1 cup Stonewall Kitchen Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce
• Assorted toppings; red & orange peppers, onions, zucchini, mushrooms, eggplant etc.
• 1 to 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, etc
• Fresh herbs, chopped or whole, your choice
• 1/2 tsp Mrs Dash, optional
• Sprinkle of Kosher salt, optional

How To Make Grilled Flank Steak Pizza

• This Marinated Flank Steak Grilled Pizza pairs well with a big, bold red California Zinfandel, so pour your glasses before you start grilling!
• Slice and saute or grill any veggies you need before you start working with your dough.
• Sprinkle a big piece of heavy duty aluminum foil with cornmeal. (See my article How To Finish Grilling the Pizza") Throw the dough down like you're mad, flatten it and rub about a Tablespoon of oil on top of the dough, flattening or rolling it as you go. Sprinkle some more cornmeal over the top, flip it over and do the other side with oil. Flatten the dough out to make it fit a rectangular baking sheet. You can make it any shape you wish, but certainly never bigger than your grill area! Let it rest while you gather up all your utensils and toppings.
• If you're using a gas grill, light it and preheat on high for about 10-15 minutes. Likewise, if you're using a charcoal grill, get the coals white-hot. It needs to be REALLY HOT! Bring all your tools and ingredients to the grill, including long handled tongs and a cutting board. Seconds before grilling, turn the heat down to medium. Leaving the pizza on the foil, open the grill and in one swift motion, flip the whole thing onto the grates, foil and all, trying to keep it all in one piece. Then quickly peel off the foil, adjust the dough if you have to and close the top. Leave it in there for about 3 minutes. Make sure it doesn't burn. You want those nice grill marks on the bottom! Use the tongs to move the dough around.
• Transfer to cutting board, grilled side up and spread with Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce, toppings, cheese and sprinkle with seasonings.
• Turn one of the two grill burners off. Place pizza back on the grill, cover and grill for another 10 minutes or so, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and bottom is browned and cooked through. If the bottom starts to cook faster than you expected, turn the pizza around or move it to another spot.
• Remove to cutting board, slice and serve with a second glass of Zinfandel!
• Serves about four.
