VEAL PIZZAIOLA
Steps:
- Beat veal slices until very thin - remove sinew from side if meat. Place 1/4 cup of olive oil into a heated pan, add the veal slices seasoned with salt and pepper and then lower heat under pan and lightly fry on both sides. Place 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a separate pan on the heat and add the garlic, fry gently and then add the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and add oregano. Reduce heat and cook slowly for a few minutes. Add the meat juices to the tomato sauce and the Worcestershire sauce. Place a slice of mozzarella cheese on each veal slice and using a perforated spoon place the tomatoes and some of the sauce over the veal. Cover and allow to simmer 5 minutes. Place the remaining sauce through a sieve. Add the parsley. Place the veal on a serving dish and powder heavily with Parmesan cheese and place under the broiler for 2 minutes to brown. Serve sauce separately in a sauceboat.
CHEF JOHN'S STEAK PIZZAIOLA
There are hundreds of ways to make pizzaiola, from versions featuring slowly braised tough cuts of beef to quickly seared tenderloin medallions, like I used here. The one thing most people agree on is that you should, if at all possible, use really fresh, very sweet, vine-ripened tomatoes. Serve on top of toasted bread with mozzarella cheese.

BEEF OR VEAL ALLA PIZZAIOLA
This is a flavorful recipe for less tender cuts of beef or veal. I usually prepare this dish using beef chuck steak, beef round steak or veal chops. This can be cooked either on top of the stove or in the oven.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the steak all over with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the garlic to the skillet. Once it sizzles, add the onion and bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften slightly, about 4 minutes.

Bring to a rapid simmer, then nestle the steak in the sauce and simmer, turning once, until medium rare, about 7 minutes.

BISTECCA ALLA PIZZAIOLA (STEAK WITH THE PIZZAIOLO'S WIFE'S SAUCE
Not sure where this comes from. May be from a book, may be my own, who knows anymore. I do know that we love it. Please try to use fresh oregano, I have had good results with dried but nothing beats the fresh, small leaves. It really does make a big difference. Be sure to serve with some good bread to sop up the gravy. You can use your favorite tomato sauce recipe if you wish, or, dare I say, your favorite jar. As always, the time to make it is just a guess.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality beef or veal for the best results. Look for meat that is well-marbled and has a deep red color.
- If you don't have any white wine on hand, you can substitute beef broth or water. However, white wine will add a delicious flavor to the dish.
- Be sure to cook the meat until it is tender. This may take some time, so be patient. The meat is done when it is cooked through and there is no longer any pink in the center.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when you are browning the meat. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly.
- Add the mushrooms and onions to the pan after the meat has been browned. This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
- Serve the dish over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
