1 (12 ounce) New York strip steaks
canola oil
salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 (10 inch) store-bought pizza refrigerated prepared pizza crust

1 cup grated monterey jack cheese
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (recommended -- Cabrales)

1 bunch watercress, coarsely chopped

Steps:

FOR THE GLAZE:.
Bring vinegar to a boil in a small nonreactive saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1/2 cup. Stir in the honey and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
FOR THE STEAK:.
Heat grill to high. Brush steak on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and cooked to medium-rare doneness, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the grill to a cutting board, tent lightly with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice into 1/4-inch thick slices.
FOR THE PIZZA:.
Heat the grill to high.
Brush both sides of the pizza with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the grill, divide the Monterey Jack cheese over the top of each one and then sprinkle with the blue cheese. Place back on the grill, close the cover of the grill and grill until the cheese has melted, about 1 minute. Remove to a flat surface, divide the steak between each pizza, then top with the watercress. Drizzle with some of the Balsamic Glaze and sprinkle with some of the shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano.
