4 ounces (cut into 1/2 inch strips)
four cheese pasta sauce
16 ounces (ready to use)
Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons (to marinate beef)

Instructions
1
Slice the wafer-thin beef into 1/2 inch strips for even marination.
2
In a bowl, combine the beef strips with Worcestershire sauce and Italian seasoning. Marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator, turning the mixture every 5 minutes to ensure even flavor absorption.
3
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and green pepper, and sauté until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Add the marinated beef to the skillet with the onion and green pepper. Cook until the beef is warmed through and mixed well with the vegetables, approximately 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
5
Preheat your oven to 400°F (or prepare your Pizza Pizzazz cooker).
6
Spread an even layer of the four cheese pasta sauce over each prepared pizza crust.
7
Equally distribute half of the beef, onion, and pepper mixture on each pizza crust, spreading it evenly.
8
Top each pizza generously with mozzarella cheese, ensuring complete coverage for that melt-in-your-mouth experience.
9
Bake each pizza in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or in the Pizza Pizzazz for 18 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
