This past weekend my mother in law got married (yey!) and she had me cook for her rehearsal dinner. I did a Greek theme and ended up with way to many Pitas. I have been brainstorming on ways to use them up and this meal was fabulous!
There are a few steps but it all came together pretty quickly. HusbandPlzak and I really enjoyed this one.
Meal: Pita Pizza and Stuffed Poach Pear Salad.
Pita Pizza with Steak, Blue Cheese & Caramelized Onions
Wifeplzak Original
4 pitas
1 small flank steak
4 oz blue cheese
2 medium sweet onions
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 bulb garlic
Preheat oven to 400F. Cut the top of the garlic bulb off and drizzle with olive oil. Roast in oven for approximately 30 minutes or until the cloves are soft. Set aside and let cool.
Meanwhile slice onions and place in a medium skillet with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sweat until soft, approximately 20 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
Season flank steak with salt and pepper and place on a preheated grill. Cook for approximately 5 minutes per side. Remove from grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes and then slice thin.
Spread roasted garlic on each pita as if you were buttering bread. Top pitas with onions, steak, and cheese. Place on preheated grill and close lid. Cook for 5 minutes or until the pita is crispy and the cheese is melted. Serve warm.

Your recipe inspired me to make pita pizza's with feta, tomatoes, carmelized onions and kalamata olives. Thanks for much for sharing.
So many of my favorite ingredients on 1 pizza! Love that you used roasted garlic with the caramelized onions. So many layers of flavor here.
