INGREDIENTS:

• 1 (9-ounce/255-gram) ball Dough for Grilling
• Flour, for dusting

MANGO SALSA:

• ⅔ cup (140 grams) finely diced ripe mango
• 1 tablespoon (9 grams) finely diced red onion
• 1 tablespoon (8 grams) finely diced serrano chiles
• 1 tablespoon (2 grams) chopped cilantro
• 1 tablespoon (15 grams) freshly squeezed lime juice
• Pinch of fine sea salt

PREPARATIONS:

1. Make the mango salsa a few hours before preparing the pizza by stirring together all the ingredients in a bowl. Adjust the seasoning to your taste and set it aside at room temperature.
2. Prepare the dough and set up the grill as instructed in the Grilled Pizza Master Recipe.
3. Rub the steak with oil and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill the steak over medium-high heat, turning once, for 7 to 8 minutes, until it registers 125°F to 130°F for rare to medium-rare. Let the steak rest while you grill the pizza.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:

• Check the spiciness of the serrano chiles in the mango salsa and adjust the quantity to your taste.
• Grill the steak to your desired level of doneness and let it rest before slicing.

GRILLING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Grill the pizza as instructed in the Grilled Pizza Master Recipe.
2. Mound the shredded mozzarella in the center of the half-cooked pizza, spreading it evenly over the surface, leaving a ¾-inch border.
3. Return the pizza to the grill to cook and lightly brown the second side and melt the cheese.

COMPLETING THE PIZZA:

1. Thinly slice the rested steak on the diagonal against the grain.
2. Arrange half of the steak slices over half of the pizza (if folding it) or over the top (if serving it open-faced).
3. Top the steak with half of the mango salsa.
4. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and squeeze a wedge of lemon over the top.

TIPS:

• For a sandwich-style pizza, fold the pizza in half and cut it into 3 wedges.
• For an open-faced pizza, cut it into 6 wedges.
