Bistecca alla Pizzaiola
3 Tbs olive oil 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 cups canned Italian tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped 1 tsp dried oregano Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 3 - 4 lb T-bone, Porterhouse, or sirloin steak
Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a saucepan over moderate heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper and brown in the oil for 2 minutes on each side. Lower the heat to moderate and add the tomato sauce, spooning it over and around the meat. Cover tightly and cook an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until the steak is done to your taste. Scrape the sauce off the steak and remove the steak to a cutting board. Simmer the sauce remaining in the skillet, scraping the bottom of the pan. Carve the steak into thick slices and serve topped with the sauce. Serves 4 to 6.
