Beef or Veal alla Pizzaiola image

This is a flavorful recipe for less tender cuts of beef or veal. I usually prepare this dish using beef chuck steak, beef round steak or veal chops. This can be cooked either on top of the stove or in the oven.

2 lbs beef round steak or 2 lbs veal chops, cut 1 1/2 inches thick
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley, leaves only (the flat kind)
1 -2 teaspoon oregano
1 small onion, sliced (optional)
1/2-1 cup fresh small white button mushrooms (optional)
1/2-1 green pepper, seeded and cut into chunks (optional)
1 (20 ounce) can Italian plum tomatoes, unseasoned

Steps:

  • Coat the bottom of a large pan with olive oil.
  • Using your hands, crush the canned tomatoes and add about half of them to the bottom of the pan.
  • Add half of the salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, oregano and onions to the pan (only add the mushrooms to the top layer).
  • Place the meat on top of this mixture.
  • Cover the meat with remaining crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, oregano, mushrooms and onions.

  • Add the green peppers to the pan for the last 15 minutes of cooking time.
  • To prepare this in the oven instead of stove top, use a shallow roasting pan, (follow above directions), cover pan tightly and bake at 325°-350°F for 1 1/2 to 2 hours (until meat is tender).
  • Serve with potatoes or rice and a green salad.
