Carne alla Pizzaiola (Meat Pizza Style)
This dish is one of my childhood favourite meal !
Essentially, this is served as a main dish, consisting only of meat cooked in tomato sauce 🥫.

You can use any kind of meat, from chicken, pork chops, beef or veal. Also, any type of inexpensive cuts of meat (which should be tenderized with a meat mallet before cooking).

In our home, we cook this savoury dish in the oven. It brings the taste of the tomato sauce 🥫 to a whole new delicious level.

However, should you want to prepare a side dish to accompany the carne alla pizzaiola, may we suggest, roasted potatoes 🥔 and peppers, OR steamed green beans with polenta and pour some of that luscious sauce over the polenta. 😋

—————————————————————————————————————————
INGREDIENTS:
1 can of San Marzano tomatoes (or your own homemade sauce or passata)
4 flank steaks 🥩 (or your choice of meat)
1/4 cup of olive oil
1/2 tablespoon of black pepper
1/2 tablespoon of powdered garlic 🧄
2-3 tablespoons of oregano 🌿
Salt (to taste)
—————————————————————————————————————————
Preheat oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit

1) In a large bowl, pour the canned tomatoes and crush them with your hands.Then add all your ingredients and stir until all are well combined.

2) Depending on your choice of meat, decide if you should use the meat mallet.In a deep baking dish, ladle some of the tomato sauce at the bottom of the dish and nestle in your meat. Ladle the remaining tomato sauce over the meat. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and into the oven for 2 - 2 1/2 hours (or until the meat is tender).

3) At the half way mark, remove the dish from the oven and turn over the meat and stir the tomato sauce, cover the dish again with the aluminum foil and poke a few holes in foil for some of the steam to escape. This will help the tomato sauce to thicken.

4) This dish is eaten with lots of bread (sliced pagnotta) to soak up all that delicious and savoury tomato sauce. When we wipe our dishes “clean” with bread, it’s called “la scarpetta”. SO GOOD…. YUM … YUM 😋
And my father would always have a bottle of wine on the table ! 🍷
Enjoy and BUON APPETITO !
