A delightful twist on the classic beef pizzaiola, this recipe combines tender beef with a rich tomato and herb sauce, perfect for a comforting meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the beef to achieve a good sear.
Add the sliced beef sirloin to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning.
Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the crushed tomatoes, fresh basil, dried oregano, and cracked pepper to the skillet.
Mix well to combine the flavors evenly.
Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low heat for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check occasionally to ensure the sauce doesn't dry out; add a splash of water if needed.
Serve the beef pizzaiola over your choice of rice, pasta, or egg noodles.
Garnish with additional fresh basil for a burst of color and flavor.
