Instructions

1. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons flour on a clean work surface. Place pizza dough on the flour and shape each piece into a ball. Lightly dust your hands with flour to prevent sticking. Sprinkle dough balls with 2 tablespoons flour, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to the top position (top and middle for 4 servings) and preheat to 475°F.
2. Wash and dry produce. Thinly slice mushrooms. Trim and discard woody ends from asparagus; cut diagonally into ½-inch pieces. Pat steak dry with paper towels and season with half the garlic powder, half the thyme, salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of cooking oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak, reduce heat to medium and cook until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (it will finish cooking later). Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
3. After dough has rested, line a baking sheet (or two for 4 servings) with parchment paper. Press and stretch each dough ball into a rough oval and place on the prepared sheet (two ovals per sheet). If needed, use a rolling pin. Cover with a clean towel and let rest 15 minutes.
4. Heat the same pan used for steak over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, remaining garlic powder, remaining thyme, salt, pepper and ¼ cup water. Cook, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until water evaporates and mushrooms are browned and softened, 3-5 minutes (cook longer for 4 servings).
5. After dough has rested 15 minutes, use floured hands to press and stretch each oval to about 10 inches long and 5-6 inches wide. Sprinkle mozzarella over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Evenly top with mushroom mixture and asparagus. Drizzle or brush edges with olive oil.
6. Bake pizzas on the top rack (top and middle for 4 servings) for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice steak against the grain. Remove pizzas from oven, top with sliced steak and blue cheese and return to oven. Bake until crust is golden and crisp, 5-10 minutes more.
7. Slice pizzas as desired and serve.
