1-2 tablespoons (to taste)
beef sirloin steak
3/4 lb (cut into strips)

Instructions
1
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and mushrooms along with the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until they begin to release their juices.
2
Season the mixture with salt, fresh ground pepper, fresh thyme, and balsamic vinegar. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Once done, transfer the mixture to a plate and set aside.
3
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the beef sirloin strips and cook, stirring frequently, until they are browned and cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes.
4
Return the sautéed onion and mushroom mixture back into the skillet with the beef and cook together until everything is warmed through. Gradually sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of flour into the mixture to thicken the juices, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
5
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a greased pizza pan, stretch and shape the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Pre-bake the crust in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until it starts to turn a pale golden color.
6
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pre-baked crust. Sprinkle about 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce (adjust to taste). Distribute the beef and vegetable mixture evenly over the cheese, followed by the remaining mozzarella on top.
7
Return the completed pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling with golden brown spots. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
