Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) beefsteaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves, minced garlic cloves
- 14 ounces (1 can) crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 cups, shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups, grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 6 leaves, torn fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beefsteaks with salt and pepper, then sear them for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the skillet. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes to develop the flavors.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the seared beefsteaks on a rimmed baking sheet or oven-safe dish.
Spoon the tomato sauce evenly over each steak. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top of the sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the steaks reach your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer if needed).
Remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and torn basil leaves before serving.
Serve the Pizzaiola Beefsteak with a side of crusty bread, a light salad, or roasted vegetables. Enjoy this pizza-inspired twist on a classic steak dinner!
