Season with a 50/50 mixture of red wine vinegar and lime juice before serving.
- Cook the Picanha Steak: Score the fat cap of the picanha steak, season with salt, and cook in a preheated pizza oven at around 625°F for approximately 20 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 125°F. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Assemble and Bake the Pizza: Stretch out the pizza dough, apply a thin layer of tomato sauce, sprinkle mozzarella cheese, and add sliced peppers and onions. Bake in a preheated pizza oven at a high temperature for about 2 minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Thinly slice the rested picanha steak. Top the baked pizza with steak slices and drizzle with the prepared chimichurri sauce. Serve immediately.
