Chef John's Steak Pizzaiola
There are hundreds of ways to make pizzaiola, from versions featuring slowly braised tough cuts of beef to quickly seared tenderloin medallions, like I used here. The one thing most people agree on is that you should, if at all possible, use really fresh, very sweet, vine-ripened tomatoes. Serve on top of toasted bread with mozzarella cheese.
π Recipe adapted from AllRecipes
Season steak medallions with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
Add steaks and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer to a plate.
Reserve oil in skillet.
Place mushrooms and butter into the skillet and season with salt; cook and stir until mushrooms are softened and beginning to brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium; add peppers and cook and stir until softened, about 2 minutes.
Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in wine and sprinkle in dried oregano.
Increase heat to medium-high and cook until the wine is nearly evaporated, about 3 minutes.
Stir tomato concasse into the mushroom mixture and simmer until tomato is softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add fresh oregano, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper flakes; stir to combine.
Adjust salt and black pepper to taste.
Place steaks back into the skillet with the mushroom mixture and cook until warmed through and cooked to desired doneness, 4 to 10 minutes.
