Ingredients

• 2 pieces (8 oz each) ribeye or sirloin steak
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoons dried oregano
• 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
• 0.5 cups beef or chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoons (plus more to taste) salt
• 1 teaspoons (plus more to taste) black pepper
• 0.5 cups, grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Season the steaks generously on both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear on both sides for about 2-3 minutes per side, until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the steaks and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the dried oregano and canned crushed tomatoes. Add the beef or chicken broth and stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Add the steaks back to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.

Step 6

Cover the skillet and let the steaks simmer in the sauce for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped fresh basil and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve the steak pizzaiola hot, spooned over the tomato sauce. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Pair with crusty bread, pasta, or a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
