Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lb flank steak (or sirloin)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 large flatbreads or naan (about 10–12 inches)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
- Optional: red pepper flakes (for serving)
Instructions
- Start by preparing the garlic butter. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and add 4 minced garlic cloves. Stir occasionally for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as this will turn bitter.
- While the garlic is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 1 lb of flank steak with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder. Once the oil is hot, add the steak.
- Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until a nice crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy. Avoid crowding the pan, as this can steam the meat rather than sear it.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy result when sliced. While the steak rests, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a baking sheet, place the two flatbreads or naan. Brush a generous amount of the garlic butter over each piece. Spread 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top, followed by 1/2 cup of halved cherry tomatoes and 1/4 cup of thinly sliced red onions.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips and distribute it evenly over the cheese and vegetables on the flatbreads.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired. Cut into slices and serve immediately while the cheese is still melty and the flatbread is crisp.

Keywords: Use unsalted butter for control over saltiness. Flank steak is recommended for tenderness, but sirloin is a great alternative. If you can't find flatbreads, pita bread or homemade dough can be used.
