CHEF JOHN'S STEAK PIZZAIOLA



Chef John's Steak Pizzaiola image

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.

4 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 chopped onion
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
4 onions, sliced

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality beef steaks for the best flavor and texture. Look for steaks that are well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep them moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Tenderize the steaks before cooking to help break down the tough fibers and make them more tender. You can do this by pounding them with a meat mallet or marinating them in a mixture of oil, vinegar, and herbs.
  • Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Cook the steaks over medium-high heat to get a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the steaks are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
