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.

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings, depending on size of beef shoulder

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 to 2 pound beef shoulder
2 tablespoons Irvine Spices Smokey Rotisserie Seasoning
2 tablespoons Irvine Spices Garlic Pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, stem and seeds removed and sliced julienne
1 green bell pepper, stem and seeds removed and sliced julienne
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
1 tablespoon freshly chopped basil leaves
2 teaspoon freshly chopped oregano leaves
1 large can (29 to 32-ounces) crushed tomatoes
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup pepperoncini from a jar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Rinse beef shoulder to remove any unwanted smells, pat dry with paper toweling, and place on a utility platter. In a small bowl, make the rub for the beef by combining Smokey Rotisserie Seasoning and Garlic Pepper. Rub the seasonings into all surfaces of the beef, cover with a sheet of plastic wrap and set aside for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours at room temperature. (The seasonings will actually begin to "cure" the meat.);
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan and cook the onions, garlic, and red and green peppers until the onions begin to turn translucent and the peppers begin to soften, being careful not to burn the garlic. Stir in the parsley, basil, and oregano. Add the crushed tomatoes and bay leaf. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In an oven proof skillet heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over high heat, and sear all sides of beef. Cover pan (with lid or foil) and transfer to oven to finish, bringing to an internal temperature of 115 degrees F, on an instant-read thermometer, for medium-rare (about 30 minutes). Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Slice beef into steaks, and transfer to serving dish. Reheat pizziola sauce if necessary, remove bay leaf, and spoon over meat. Garnish with the pepperoncini.

BEEF PIZZAIOLA

I got this from a family cookbook we did one year. My cousin submitted it and my daughter loved it. I served it with spaghetti.

Categories     Healthy

Time 6h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (15 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
1/2 large onion, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
1/4 cup sugar
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 tablespoons basil
2 tablespoons oregano
1 garlic clove
2 -3 lbs london broil beef
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Put everything but the meat in a crockpot and mix together.
  • Add Beef.
  • Cook on low for 6 hours.
  • I served it with spaghetti noodles.

Tips:

1. To tenderize the meat, use a meat mallet or a rolling pin to pound it thin. This will help it cook evenly. 2. If you don't have a meat mallet or a rolling pin, you can use a knife to make small slits in the meat. This will also help it cook evenly. 3. For a more flavorful sauce, use a combination of fresh and canned tomatoes. The fresh tomatoes will add a bright, acidic flavor, while the canned tomatoes will add a rich, deep flavor. 4. If you don't have any white wine, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead. 5. If you don't have any mozzarella cheese, you can use another type of cheese that melts well, such as provolone, cheddar, or Parmesan. 6. Serve the pizzaiola with a side of pasta, rice, or bread.

Conclusion:

Beef pizzaiola is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover steak or roast beef. You can also make it with ground beef, if you prefer. No matter how you make it, beef pizzaiola is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
