Ingredients

• 4 steaks (rump, sirloin, flank/skirt) see hints & tips
• ¼ tsp each of salt & pepper plus 1 tsp pizza pizzaz seasoning
• 3 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 200g mushrooms
• 1 can diced tomatoes

• ½ cup white wine
• ½ cup beef stock
• 1 tsp Grange Garlic/ 2 garlic cloves, minced

For serving

Instructions

1. Season the steaks with ¼ tsp each of salt & pepper plus 1 tsp pizza pizzaz seasoning
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet/frying pan. Once hot, cook the steaks to your liking (see the notes below on steak cooking times). Once cooked, remove and set aside.
3. Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the butter to melt. Add the garlic and mushrooms and fry until the mushrooms are fragrant and cooked – about 3-4 minutes.
4. Next, add the wine to deglaze the pan and scrape/loosen any brown bits with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 1 minute.
5. Add the diced tomatoes, beef stock, and pizza pizzaz seasoning and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
6. Add the olives and capers, stir to combine everything, and bring to a simmer. Simmer the tomato sauce gently for 10 minutes.
7. Add the steaks back to the skillet with the sauce and cook until warmed through, about 3-4 minutes. Serve garnished with some fresh basil and shaved Parmesan.

Hints & Tips

• I used rump steak in this recipe: You can use any steak you like, just make sure they are thin quick-cook steaks and not stewing beef.
• The beauty of this recipe is the steaks are thin cut, which means they cook quickly. Here is a guide for cooking the steaks.

Steak Cooking Time (for thin cut ¼ inch rump steaks)

Cook these steaks for 30 seconds to 1 minute each side, then sit aside to rest before heating back up in the sauce. They won't be rare, but any longer cooking they'll turn tough.

For Thicker Cut Steaks (1 inch / 2 cm)

• Rare: ~ 1 and a half minutes each side
• Medium rare: ~ 2 minutes each side
• Medium: ~ 2 and a half minutes each side
• Well done: 4 minutes each side
• You can swap the steak for chicken or pork; the only difference would be to make sure to cook it all the way through at the first stage of cooking and warm it up in the sauce at the end.

Serve this steak pizzaiola over a bed of mashed potatoes with veggies on the side.
