In a large stand mixer, combine the water, instant yeast, bread flour, sourdough discard, and sea salt.
Knead the dough on low speed for 6-7 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
Cover the bowl and allow to rise for 2 hours.
Pizza Sauce
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the flour, whisking continuously for 3 minutes.
Slowly add the milk, whisking continuously to prevent clumping.
Add the horseradish sauce and season with salt and pepper.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, whisking often for 5-10 minutes.
Remove from the heat when thickened.
Steak, Onions, and Mushrooms
Heat the grill to high heat.
Season the steak with blackened seasoning.
Grill the steak for 5 minutes per side. Remove the steak to a plate and cover with foil. Allow to rest while preparing the other ingredients.
Heat 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat in a small cast iron skillet. Add the sliced yellow onion, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes or until caramelized. Remove the onions to a bowl.
In the same skillet, melt 1 tbsp of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until soft. Remove the mushrooms to a bowl.
Preheat the oven to 425℉.
Lightly flour a work surface and spread the pizza dough into a 16 inch circle.
Place the dough on a floured pizza pan.
Spread the sauce over the pizza, leaving 1 inch crust around the outer edges of the pizza.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella on top of the sauce.
Slice the flank steak into bite sized pieces and spread over the entire pizza.
Add the caramelized onions and sautéed mushrooms.
Add the remaining mozzarella, gorgonzola, and diced green onions to the pizza.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the bottom crust is cooked through and the top is hot, bubbly, and browning.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
