Picture this: You have three steaks thawed out for dinner. Your husband calls and says, "I'm bringing home Mr. Bo-de-bo for dinner." (Is that grammatically correct? We don't want to eat Mr. Bo-de-bo for dinner. Let's eat Grandma. Let's eat, Grandma. Punctuation saves lives people!) Panic ensues. Because you don't have an extra steak for Mr. Bo-de-bo. And pretend you live a zillion miles away from the grocery store and can't get an extra steak for Mr. Bo-de-bo. So now you have 4 people and three steaks. (This is like the makings of a crazy math word problem. If you have 3 steaks and Mr. Bo-de-bo eats 2, solve for X) Anyway...Steak Pizzaiola is a great way to stretch a small amount of beef for several people. It's steak, sauteed with a lot of garlic (Don't plan on kissing Mr. Bo-de-bo) and marinara sauce. Serve it over crusty bread and you've got a lovely dinner without the expense or time it takes to prepare a separate steak for each person.
Steak Pizzaiola, Or as I like to call it: How to feed my family of three with one steak. |
Steak Pizzaiola
1-1 1/2 pound Sirloin or other steak cut into thin strips
1 cup marinara sauce (use my easy homemade sauce recipe HERE.)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the garlic. Stir constantly until just golden, be careful not to burn. Toss in steak slices and saute for 3-5 minutes. Add oregano and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute and then add marinara sauce. Simmer about 5 minutes more. Serve over pasta or crusty bread.
NOTE: A 1-1 1/2 pound steak feeds my family of 3 approximately 2 servings each. Use this as a guide to figure out how many steaks you need to solve the math problem and feed Mr. Bo-de-bo
Prep Time: Approximately 10 minutes Cook Time: Approximately 15 minutes
