How to Make Beef Pizzaiola

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs beef strips (sirloin or flank steak work well) and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the skillet.
  4. Stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer.

  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve over cooked rice or egg noodles.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
