Ingredients
- 1 packet pre-made pizza dough
- 1/3 cup za'atar spice mix
- 1 Steak (New York, Ribeye) around 250g/9oz
- 1/3 cup Shangleesh Cheese (or feta) - crumbled
- salt & pepper
- 1/4 cup Fresh pomegranate seeds (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley (chopped)
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (approximately)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220ºC/425ºF
- Drizzle around 2 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil on a 30x40cm/12x17" baking sheet and spread out with your fingers to cover the whole sheet. Using a rolling pin, roll out your pizza dough to a rough rectangle around 35x25cm/10x15" to fit on the baking sheet. You can also just stretch it with your fingers straight onto the baking sheet.
- Drizzle generously with about another 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, then scatter over generous amounts of za'atar. Taste the za'atar to see if it has salt, if it doesn't then season the bread with salt & pepper. If it does, just pepper. Bake in the oven for around 10-15 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from the oven.
- Season the steak well with salt & pepper. Heat a frying pan with a little olive oil and fry the steak for 4-5 minutes each side for a medium cook. Rest the meat for 2-3 minutes and then thinly slice.
- Arrange the steak in one layer on the flatbreads then scatter over the Shangleesh, pomegranate seeds (if using) and the parsley. Sprinkle over a little more Za'atar and then finish with another drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Use a pizza cutter to portion out the bread. That's it, you're good to go!
