Carne Alla Pizzaiola
Carne Alla Pizzaiola
Ingredients
- 1lb of Thinly Pounded Sirloin
- 2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
- 2 Cloves of Garlic, smashed and peeled
- 1 cup of Halved Cherry Tomatoes
- 1 cup of Crushed Tomatoes
- Heavy Pinch of Italian Oregano, about 1 tsp (crush it between your fingers as you add it)
- Salt to taste
- Fresh Basil
Preparation
1) Season both sides of the beef on both sides with some salt, very quickly sear it in a medium skillet for about 15 seconds per side (with the tiniest drizzle of olive oil) , remove to a plate and set aside.
2) To the same skillet, add the olive oil and garlic, saute until the garlic becomes fragrant, then add the cherry tomatoes, cook a couple minutes then add the crushed tomatoes along with the oregano and a pinch of salt, cover and simmer on medium heat for about 10 minutes.
3) Add the seared beef to the sauce, simmer just a minute then add the basil and serve!
NOTE: if you’re using a cheaper cut such as rump or braciole steaks, they will need to simmer for at least an hour or until tender, either way, quick cooking or low simmer, it’s spectacular!
