Steak pizzaiola is a traditional Italian dish that combines beef steak with a savory tomato-based sauce infused with oregano and other classic pizza flavors — hence the name pizzaiola, meaning “pizza style.”
This version is simply made with roasted sirloin served over a bed of rich tomato sauce. Other variations include the addition of fresh parsley, basil, olives, red pepper flakes, sautéed or roasted bell peppers, or onions. No matter how you make it, the tomato sauce doubles as your vegetable side, making this an easy, well-rounded meal.
It’s even simpler when you have leftover roast sirloin and tomato sauce in the freezer — maybe some roasted bell peppers, too!
Roast sirloin or other steak
Optional — oregano, parsley, bell peppers, onions, olives, or capers
Slice roast sirloin. I usually only make this dish when I have leftover sirloin, but you also pan-sear steak to make the meat.
Warm tomato sauce in a pan.
Add the sirloin or steak to the pan to warm.
Add any optional ingredients you like. My add-ins are also usually leftovers (and tomato sauce from the freezer), but you can sauté onions or bell peppers to add in, along with fresh herbs, or a sprinkle of dried oregano, or some capers or olives.
Warm and serve.
You can pull this dish together quickly — even if it is a little messy, it's still delicious!
