1 1/4 pounds boneless sirloin steak (about 1 inch thick), excess fat trimmed
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 large onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow), sliced 1/2 inch thick

3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons water
1 (14- to 15-oz) can diced tomatoes in juice

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.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound beef tenderloin steaks, cut into 4 medallions
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 teaspoons butter
1 pinch salt
1 cup sliced sweet and hot peppers
4 cloves garlic, crushed
½ cup white wine
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup tomato concasse (see footnote for recipe link)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Season steak medallions with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add steaks and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Reserve oil in skillet.
  • Place mushrooms and butter into the skillet and season with salt; cook and stir until mushrooms are softened and beginning to brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; add peppers and cook and stir until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour in wine and sprinkle in dried oregano. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until the wine is nearly evaporated, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir tomato concasse into the mushroom mixture and simmer until tomato is softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add fresh oregano, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper flakes; stir to combine. Adjust salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Place steaks back into the skillet with the mushroom mixture and cook until warmed through and cooked to desired doneness, 4 to 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect pizza dough, use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour. Bread flour has a higher protein content, which will result in a chewier, more flavorful crust.
  • If you don't have time to make your own pizza dough, you can use a store-bought dough. Just be sure to let it come to room temperature before using it.
  • When assembling your pizza, don't overload it with toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature, around 500 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • If you're using fresh mozzarella cheese, be sure to pat it dry before using it. This will help to prevent the pizza from becoming watery.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help to prevent the toppings from falling off.

Conclusion:

Steak pizzaiola is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of juicy steak, flavorful sauce, and melted cheese is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give steak pizzaiola a try.
