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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the seared beefsteaks on a rimmed baking sheet or oven-safe dish.

Step 5

Spoon the tomato sauce evenly over each steak. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top of the sauce.

Step 6

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).

Step 7

Remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and torn basil leaves before serving.

Step 8

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!
