Spicy Steak Pizzaiola (Italian Braised Beef) with Mushrooms & PeppersSpicy Steak Pizzaiola (Italian Braised Beef) with Mushrooms & Peppers — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 16 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

237 ml chicken or vegetable broth

0.68 kg cremini mushrooms

3 (398 ml) cans diced tomatoes

1 small pkg fresh basil

6 cloves garlic

85 g Parmesan cheese

3 red bell peppers

1.02 kg striploin (New York strip) steak

3 tbsp tomato paste

3 yellow bell peppers

1 ½ medium yellow onions

black pepper

crushed red pepper

extra virgin olive oil

oregano, dried

Instructions

Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

While the pot heats up, pat steak dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Working in batches if necessary, add steak and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side (it will not be cooked all the way through). Transfer to a plate. (Reserve pot with drippings for later use.)

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce.

Trim, seed, and slice bell peppers lengthwise into thin strips. Place in a large bowl.

Thinly slice mushrooms. Add to the bowl with the bell peppers.

Peel, halve, and slice onions crosswise into thin half-moons. Peel and mince garlic. Add both to the bowl.

Pick basil leaves off the stems, roll up crosswise, and thinly slice into ribbons. Add to the bowl (reserving a small handful for serving).

Return pot (with drippings) to medium heat, add more oil, and swirl to coat the bottom. Add veggies, basil, and spices; cook, stirring often, until the veggies have softened, 6-7 minutes.

Add tomatoes, broth, and tomato paste to the pot; stir to combine the sauce. Bring to a simmer, then nestle steak into the sauce and cook, turning once, until sauce has thickened and steak is desired doneness, 7-8 minutes. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile, finely grate Parmesan.

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and thinly slice against the grain.

To serve, divide veggies and sauce between plates or bowls. Top with sliced steak, Parmesan, and reserved basil. Enjoy!
