Treat your ingredients with care...

• Beef — For a more tender result, choose a tender cut of beef such as sirloin or tenderloin. Slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
• Pizza crust — If you prefer a thicker crust, you can use a pre-made or homemade thicker pizza crust. Adjust the baking time accordingly.

Tips & Tricks

• To add an extra kick of flavor, you can drizzle some spicy Peruvian Aji Amarillo sauce over the pizza before serving.
• If you prefer a smoky flavor, you can grill the beef instead of sautéing it.
• Experiment with different types of cheese, such as queso fresco or cheddar, for a unique twist.
• For a vegetarian version, you can substitute the beef with sautéed mushrooms or tofu.
• Serve the pizza with a side of traditional Peruvian salsa criolla for an authentic touch.
