Mongolian beef pizza uses a small bit of leftover steak to make an easy flatbread for a party appetizer or light dinner for 2. The delicious naan bread works as a pizza crust and helps get this to the table in 20 minutes or less.

With food prices what they are, I try to ensure not even a bite goes to waste.

This fun restaurant-quality unique pizza makes an easy dinner or a fun party appetizer in a pinch.

I love using small bits of leftovers as a pizza or flatbread topping the next night. This is the best Mongolian beef pizza recipe because:

Ingredients
This very flexible recipe has a few core ingredients but there is definitely room for you to substitute things you have on hand:
- Naan Flatbreads: I used a rectangular shaped naan bread flatbread crust by Stonefire pizza that I picked up at the grocery store. I can't always find them, you can substitute the traditional oval-shaped naan breads or use a prepared pizza crust. If you want to use homemade pizza dough, just follow my instructions for baking pizza crusts here.
- Leftover Mongolian Beef: I made our family's favorite stir fry beef and broccoli for dinner the night before and had just a small amount of the steak left over. You could use leftover Mongolian beef from your favorite take out place or dress up plain steak with teriyaki sauce and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
- Olive Oil
- Garlic Salt
- Green Onions
- Black Pepper
Assemble the Flatbread
Place the naan bread on a large baking sheet.
Brush the olive oil evenly over the top and sprinkle it with the garlic salt.
Then spread the shredded Monterey jack cheese evenly over the top, leaving just a small border for the pizza crust like this:
Spread the leftover Mongolian beef over the top of the pizza. There's no need to reheat it, it will warm up in the oven when the pizza bakes.
NOTE: If you are using plain steak, be sure to toss the steak, teriyaki sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes together in a small bowl before adding the steak to the pizza top.
Baking Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400ยฐF.
Bake the Mongolian beef pizza for 10 - 12 minutes or until the crust has warmed through and the cheese is melted on top.
Sprinkle the black pepepr over the top and add the green onions.
Serving Suggestions
This savory steak pizza makes an excellent party appetizer because it comes together so quickly. You could slice it into small squares or slice it on the diagonal for long triangular pieces that are perfect for nibbling at the party.
If you want to serve it as a light dinner or lunch, it will serve two adults.
I personally enjoy a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top. They'd make a nice optional garnish for a pretty presentation.
If you made my beef and broccoli recipe and still have some of the broccoli left, too, add it along with the steak to the pizza top! Otherwise, you might want to make some roasted stir fry vegetables on the side.
