Creating Smoky Grilled Matambre a la Pizza is an enjoyable process that brings out the chef in you. Follow these step-by-step instructions to achieve the best results.

Preparing the Matambre

1. Marinate the beef: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the beef matambre. Allow the beef to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
2. Preheat the grill: While the beef is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
3. Grill the beef: Place the marinated matambre on the preheated grill. Cook each side for 5-7 minutes, depending on your preferred level of doneness. Aim for a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender. Once cooked, remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Adding the Pizza Toppings

4. Preheat oven or grill with lid: If using an oven, preheat it to 375°F (190°C). If using a grill, reduce the heat to medium and close the lid to maintain an even temperature.
5. Assemble the toppings: Place the grilled beef on a baking tray or heatproof grill pan. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the beef, then layer the tomato slices on top.
6. Add cheese and herbs: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato slices. Then, add oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
7. Bake or grill the pizza: Transfer the assembled matambre to the preheated oven or grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the toppings are heated through.
8. Garnish and serve: Remove the Smoky Grilled Matambre a la Pizza from the heat. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before slicing and serving.
