Ingredients

ingredient and direction list

I'm so excited to share this recipe with you! First, you're gonna need 3 dried shiitake mushrooms—soak 'em in boiling water and chop 'em up! Next on the list is 350g of fatty pork mince; trust me, fat equals flavor!

Don't forget the salt, soy sauce, sugar and Chinese cooking, or maybe some alternative, wine. Now we're talking! Grab 150g of shrimp, peeled and chopped – really small pieces work best. Finally, 2 tablespoons of minced green onion, just the white parts do the trick.

We can't forget the wrappers; 20-25 wonton wrappers are absolutely perfect! Wanna make it fancy? Get some flying fish roe for garnish – it's just for looks, not taste really.

Preparing the Steak

Now that we've gathered our ingredients, it's time to turn our attention to preparing the steak! First, let's grab our gorgeous sirloin steak – about 8 ounces is perfect – and pat it dry with a paper towel, because nobody likes a soggy sear.

Next, we're gonna season it like it deserves! I'm talking salt, pepper, and maybe a *tiny* bit of garlic powder. Don't be shy, but don't overdo it either. A good rule of thumb is about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. To enhance the umami flavor, consider adding a touch of hoisin sauce during seasoning.

Now, let's heat up a skillet – medium-high heat is our friend here– and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once it's hot, carefully place the steak in the skillet. Don't move it! We want a nice, crusty sear.

Assembling the Flatbread

With our steak expertly seared, we turn to the really fun part, assembling the flatbread! I usually start by giving each flatbread a generous schmear – that's a fancy word for spread – of pesto. I'm talkin' about, like, two tablespoons per flatbread!

Next, I grab those colorful bell peppers. Evenly distribute them over the pesto. I like to use a mix of red, yellow, and orange—it's like a party in your mouth!

Now, for the star of the show, the sirloin steak. Slice it thinly against the grain. Arrange the slices artfully – or just pile them on! Do what makes your stomach happy! Aim for about four ounces of steak per flatbread. Don't skimp cause we're talking steak here, not salad! Before adding the steak, consider a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness to balance the savory flavors.

Baking Instructions

Time to bake these bad boys! I usually preheat my oven to 400°F (200°C) – it gives the crust that perfect crisp. I'm aiming for golden-brown perfection here.

Now, carefully place the assembled flatbreads on a baking sheet. Don't overcrowd them; give 'em some room to breathe!

I'm thinking we should bake these for about 12-15 minutes, but keep an eye on 'em. Ovens can be a bit temperamental, ya know? You'll know they're done when the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melty – yum!

Once they're outta the oven, let 'em cool for a few minutes before slicing. Otherwise, it's lava cheese time! Then, you can slice 'em up and watch 'em disappear!
