Why You’ll Love Carne Asada Pizza
Home Run Inn provided the perfect pizza for this recipe! I like to keep a few of their fozen pizzas on hand for whenever my wife and I go through a pizza crave.
For me, the best way to enjoy any type of pizza is to load it up with meat. So this is how the Carne Asada Pizza recipe was born.
So, grab yourself Home Run Inn Pizza’s Traditional Chicago Style Pizza and let’s make an epic, meaty pizza pie.

Good news: This delicious meal only requires fifteen minutes of prep and one hour of cook time to serve four people. It is one of those easy recipes that never gets old!
The most important thing in this recipe is the carne asada. You’ll need 2-3 skirt steaks, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, fresh lime juice, fresh orange juice, jalapeño puree, kosher salt, and canola oil.
You’ll also need 1 Home Run Inn Traditional Chicago Style Pizza, traditional pizza cheese, pickled red onions, fresh cilantro, guacamole, and pico de gallo made with fresh tomatoes and white onions.
Finally, you’ll make a homemade chile lime sauce out of sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and hot sauce.

How to Make Carne Asada Pizza
Steak
Begin by adding the cilantro, minced garlic, lime juice, orange juice and oil into a bowl and then mixing them together thoroughly. Next, add your raw beef to a food safe bag/bowl and pour in your marinade. Mix together to coat all the steaks evenly. Seal and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight.
Preheat your fire to high heat (around 450 degrees F) for direct grilling.
Pull your steaks out of the bag and discard any excess marinade. Add your steaks to the grill to cook for about 1.5-2.5 minutes per side or until they are 125F internal. Once done, pull the steaks off and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Once rested, slice your carne asada against the grain then into bite size cubes for our pizza!
Pizza
Keep the fire at high heat (around 450F) for indirect grilling so that we can bake the pizza. Create a two-zone grill where one side of the grill holds all the coals and the grill grate is on the side without any coals. This two-zone fire is perfect for grilling pizza because it will cook the pizza without overdoing the outside/bottom of the pizza.
Pull your frozen Home Run Inn Pizza out of the box and discard the plastic. Add to the grill to cook for 22-26 minutes making sure to rotate halfway through the cook. Once the pizza is 160F internal, pull it off the grill and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Serving Carne Asada Pizza

Slice, serve and enjoy!

Where does the jalapeño purée come into play? Is this part of the marinade? I also donor see where the oil goes? Is that also part of the marinade? Thank you for the help! We make a ton of your recipes.
Yes its in the marinade… that was a error on our part. Fixed it!
