Bistecche alla Pizzaiola is a recipe from Northern Italy for thin fillets of beef simmered in a tomato/oregano sauce.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 8 Thin slices of beef
- 500 ml Tomato puree 2 cups
- 2 Tbsp Dried oregano a handful of fresh
- 1 whole clove garlic to be taken out at the end
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a frying-pan at medium heat. Add the clove of garlic and let it cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the meat. Brown it lightly on both sides.
- Add the tomato puree, oregano, and salt. Cook until it simmers.
- Let the meat simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes. Don't overcook the meat or it will become tough.
Notes
If you prefer to use less oil, you can heat the tomato puree and drop the uncooked pieces of meat in it when it starts to simmer. If you have extra sauce, you can always use it as a tomato sauce for pizza......two for one deal!!
