carne alla pizzaiola

Steak pizzaiola is made with seared steak simmered in a tomato sauce chock-full of onions, bell peppers, olives, and capers.

Steak Pizzaiola

sirloin steaks, (about 1-inch thick)

sea salt

black pepper

avocado oil, (divided)

yellow onions, (thinly sliced)

bell peppers, (any color will do, thinly sliced)

garlic, (thinly sliced)

chicken

tomatoes

green olives

capers

Season the steaks with salt and pepper on all sides; let the steaks sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 2 minutes. Flip and sear for 2 more minutes. Don&#39;t crowd the skillet; cook the steaks in batches if your skillet isn&#39;t big enough.

Remove the steaks from the pan and set aside on a plate; keep them covered.

Add the remainder of the avocado oil to the pan. Add the onions and bell peppers to the pan. Season with salt and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes, frequently stirring.

Stir in the garlic and cook for 15 seconds or until fragrant.

Add the wine to the pan. Stir to scrape up any browned bits off the bottom and sides of the pan and into the sauce. Let the wine cook until it evaporates, about 30 seconds.

Add the crushed tomatoes, olives, and capers. Bring the sauce to a boil; then reduce the heat to a steady simmer.

Add the steaks to the pan and cook for 3 minutes. Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and transfer the steaks and sauce to a serving platter.

Serve hot with crusty bread, pasta, and a light salad.

Easy Steak Pizzaiola Recipe (Carne Alla Pizzaiola) 

sirloin steaks (thin- about 1/4 inch thick)

Salt and pepper,

olive oil

garlic,

(14 oz) crushed tomatoes (San Marzano)

oregano

fresh basil, chopped

red pepper flakes (adjust

red wine, or beef broth

green olives,

capers, drained

basil leaves and oregano sprigs,

Pat steaks dry with clean paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side or until they are nicely browned. This step will give the steaks a nice crust. Once seared, remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute in the same skillet until fragrant. Scrap the browned bits off the bottom of the pan.

Pour in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, fresh basil, and red pepper flakes. If you&#8217;re using red wine, add it at this stage. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

Place the seared steaks back into the skillet, nestling them into the tomato sauce along with the olives and capers. Spoon some of the sauce over the steaks.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the steaks simmer in the sauce for about 15 minutes, or until the steaks are cooked to your desired level of doneness, and the flavors meld together.

Once the steaks are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on serving plates.

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of water to thin it out. If it is too thin, you can add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste. 

Spoon the sauce, green olives, and capers over the steaks and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve the Steak Pizzaiola hot. It pairs well with a side of crusty bread.

My family loved this super easy dish. I added a splash of good balsamic vinegar near the end of cooking which elevated the flavors even more. 
Cosí buono!

Excellent recipe.  The sauce was very balanced and tasty.  Will definitely make again!

I made this for the first time earlier this week. It was amazing! I'm making another batch tonight (prepping meals for the week), and adding mushrooms and a little balsamic vinegar this time. It was quick and easy, perfect for a busy weeknight.

The Pizzaiola recipe was superb.  Made it tonight. Nice easy to follow instructions. The blend of flavours from the tomato sauce, the olives and the capers was outstanding.  Will make this again. My husband loved it🥰
