Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- 8 whole canned tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 4 thinly sliced top round steak about 4 oz (120 g) each
Instructions
- Heat the extra-virgin olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the tomatoes and crush them gently with a wooden spoon. Season with oregano, cover with a lid, and cook for 10 minutes over low heat, stirring often.
- Add the steaks to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes (or more depending on the thickness of the meat).
- Turn the meat halfway through the cooking time. Once ready, remove the pan from the heat, discard the garlic, season your steak pizzaiola with extra oregano and extra-virgin olive oil if you like, and serve.
Notes
Meat: You can use round steak, thin-cut sirloin steak, or veal top round cutlets, remember to remove any fat in excess. You can keep the meat thick (½-inch - 1,5 cm thick) or thin (pound the meat until until ¼-inch - 6-mm thick). Because the meat is cooked directly in the tomato sauce, I recommend thinly sliced meat.
Tomatoes: You can use canned whole tomatoes, or tomato passata (pureed tomatoes).
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Store leftovers in a freezer-friendly container and freeze them for up to 1 month.
