Let’s step away from chicken for a moment. It’s been chicken everything around here lately and I need more. I know chicken is pretty much the most popular meat for people to cook and to eat but even with all of its possibilities, it can get redundant.

Steak is a wonderful option for a quick and flavorful dinner, whether you want to top off pasta with it or just serve it with a side of veggies. This steak pizzaiola, or Carne alla pizzaiola, is a great dinner that’s reminiscent of our favorite Italian flavors that are found in dishes like Chicken Parmesan and Lasagna. This dish is comprised of a juicy, tender sirloin steak that’s first seared and then cooked in a simple tomato sauce. The sauce is easily made with crushed tomatoes, veggies, and herbs. This really is a simple dinner that’s also quite comforting.

For this Steak Pizzaiola dish, you can use different cuts of beef. You can use ribeye steak, flank steak, or even tenderloin medallions. Just be mindful of the thickness of steaks. Some will cook faster than other. Tenderloins medallions, even though they are small, tend to be quite thick. So use a thermometer to check your meat temperature before taking it out.

You can also serve pizzaiola with additional veggies, over different types of pasta, or even as hot steak sandwiches. We had some steak and sauce leftover after dinner, so I made some fabulous steak pizzaiola hoagies the next day. When reheating the steak, I highly recommend that you don’t use the microwave because it will turn your steak chewy and most likely completely overcook it. You can best reheat the steak in a pre-heated cooking pan, over medium heat.
