Ingredients

  • 4 beef top sirloin steak (6 ounces each)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
  • 8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Pat steak dry and season with salt and pepper on all sides.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch-oven over high heat. Place steak in skillet and cook until a golden brown crust forms, 2-3 minutes each side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, onion and bell pepper; cook until slightly soft, 2-3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until slightly soft, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
  4. Add white wine and bring to a simmer, cooking until wine has dissipated, 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add beef broth, tomatoes, salt, oregano, sugar and red pepper flakes.
  5. Add steaks to the tomato sauce and simmer on medium-low heat until steaks are tender and sauce has reduced, 35-40 minutes, turning once. Top with parsley.

Steak Pizzaiola takes tender steak and bathes it in a pizza-styled tomato sauce for a rich and delicious dish. The deep red sauce uses beef broth, oregano, sugar and red pepper flakes to create a flavorful bite with a bit of a zip. —Julie Andrews, Rockford, Michigan
