My take on bistecca alla pizzaiola

    I saw a well marbled cut of flat iron steak at the butchers and couldn’t pass it up. I wanted to something other then just the classic sear and eat. So after dry brining for 18 hours I took half of it and pan seared it and cooked until medium rare. The sauce is crushed tomatos, sauteed garlic, calabrian chilies, kalamata olives, capers, oregano, basil and parsley. After resting I sliced the steak thin and put the meat in the pan just long enough to heat it back up again and then plated the meat with sauce and fresh basil leaves.

  2. Nice plating and I’d probably smash but that just looks like grilled beef with tomato salad on top, not pizzaiola… Pizzaiola in my area (Amalfi coast) is a beef slice cooked in thick tomato sauce (the one you’d spread on top of pizza, hence the name) with garlic and oregano, sometimes peas.

    EDIT I read the ingredients and the sauce is not good for the preparation, you should rather cook rabbit or fish in the sauce you made

    Interesting take on it; was it better or worse than the traditional preparation? Would you change anything for the next time?

    Sicuramente buona ma è una bistecca con una salsa di pomodoro, non è una fettina alla pizzaiola
