👨‍🍳 Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the tomato sauce following the traditional Sicilian recipe.

  2. 2

    Transfer the sauce to a large non-stick pan and add a drizzle of Sicilian extra virgin olive oil. Warm it over low heat.

  3. 3

    Add the sliced garlic cloves to the sauce. Place the beef slices in the pan with the tomato sauce.

  4. 4

    Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of oregano.

  5. 5

    Cook for about ten minutes, flipping the meat slices halfway through for even cooking. Add another pinch of oregano when flipping.

  6. 6

    Once cooked, turn off the heat and plate the Sicilian-Style Steak Pizzaiola, drizzling with a little more sauce.

  7. 7

    Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and serve.

💡 Tips and Variations

For a twist, try adding capers or olives to the sauce for extra tanginess. If you prefer a bit of heat, a pinch of red chilli flakes can add a spicy kick. For a vegetarian version, replace beef with aubergine slices.

📦 Storage

  • • Store leftover Sicilian-Style Steak Pizzaiola in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
  • • To freeze, place portions in freezer bags or airtight containers, removing as much air as possible. The dish can last up to 2-3 months in the freezer.
  • • Reheat in the microwave or on the hob over medium-low heat, adding a bit of water or tomato sauce if needed.

🍷 Pairing

Pair this dish with a Sicilian wine like Nero d’Avola, which complements the richness of the tomato sauce and the savoury notes of the beef.
