Bears Steak Pizzaiola Recipe

	Grizzlybear / All my dishes 4 months, 2 weeks ago This is a steak cooked with a pizza type sauce. Which also means you can add different vegetables you would put on a pizza and top it with cheese, or you can have it bareback, just the steak and tomato sauce. Either way, it's satisfying the way a pizza and a steak both are.... More Prep:30m Cook:35m Servings:24	Grizzlybear

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil (not extra virgin)

One 3-pound steak (T-bone, porterhouse, rib-eye), about 1 inch thick

1/2 cup dry red wine

4 cloves of garlic, minced (1 tablespoon)

One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes and their juice

1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled

1 teaspoon each salt and black pepper (to taste)

3 tablespoons grated Parmesan or Romano cheese (optional)

Optional vegetables:

1/2 medium red or green pepper, seeded and diced

1/2 medium brown or white onion, peeled, trimmed, and sliced

4 ounces white mushrooms, trimmed and sliced

1/4 cup sliced black olives (American or brined)

3 ounces canned or jarred artichoke hearts (not marinated)

Directions

Heat oil over medium-high heat in a skillet large enough to hold steak. Season steak lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides. Brown steak on one side about 3 minutes, flip, and brown an additional 3 minutes on second side. Remove steak to a plate.

Lower heat to medium. If adding peppers or onions, add to part and cook 3-4 minutes, stirring. Add the wine to the skillet and scrap up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Add garlic, tomatoes and juice, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture starts to thicken. If using mushrooms or black olives, add after 10 minutes. Return steak to pan. Add artichoke hearts if using. Cook until steak is heated and cooked to your taste (rare, medium rare, etc.) Adjust seasoning of tomato sauce.

Remove steak to a carving board and cut in serving pieces. If topping with cheese, in the last 2 minutes of cooking, sprinkle cheese over steak and cover pan. Heat until cheese melts, and then move to carving board to cut.

Serve topped with tomato sauce and additional sauce on the side, toss 1 cup of the sauce with 1 pound cooked and drained pasta of your choice-capellini recommended.
