Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 cup mushrooms
230g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 red onion
160g
1 red pepper
80g
2 cups pasta sauce
460g
1 lb beef
450g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
- Slice the mushrooms into thin slices.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Slice the red onion and red pepper into thin strips.
- Season the beef steak with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Cook the Vegetables:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced red onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it starts to soften.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced red pepper. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and all the vegetables are nicely softened. Remove the vegetable mix from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Beef Steak:
- In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if necessary and heat over medium-high.
- Add the beef steak and sear on each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness (internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, etc.).
- Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board.
4. Combine and Simmer:
- Return the vegetables to the skillet and add the 2 cups of pasta sauce.
- Stir well to combine and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes to meld all the flavors together.
5. Serve:
- While the sauce is simmering, slice the rested steak into thin strips.
- Add the steak strips back into the skillet, nestling them into the sauce and vegetables. Allow the steak to heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve the Steak Pizzaiola hot, with a side of pasta, rice, or a crunchy salad.

Tips:

- For the best flavor, use fresh and high-quality ingredients.

- Cook the steak to your preferred doneness, but remember that overcooking can make the meat tough.

- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain its juices.

- If you prefer a spicier version, consider adding red pepper flakes to the sauce.

- Pair this dish with a side of crusty Italian bread or a simple pasta to soak up the delicious sauce.

Enjoy your Steak Pizzaiola with a side of your choice, and revel in the fusion of tender beef and rich, aromatic sauce. This recipe is sure to become a favorite for family dinners or special occasions. Bon Appetit!
