Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Steak Pizzaiola with Peppers and Mushrooms.
Step 1
Start by generously seasoning your beef medallions with salt and black pepper on both sides, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over high heat until it shimmers.
Step 3
Carefully add the seasoned steak medallions and let them sizzle away, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side until they develop a beautiful brown crust.
Step 4
Once done, transfer the steaks to a plate, but don’t discard that delicious oil in the skillet; it’s packed with flavor.
Step 5
Next, toss in your sliced mushrooms along with a pat of butter, adding a pinch of salt to enhance their natural taste.
Step 6
Stir them around for about 5 to 6 minutes until they soften and start to turn golden brown.
Step 7
Now, lower the heat to medium and introduce the sliced sweet and hot peppers to the mix.
Step 8
Cook and stir for about 2 minutes until the peppers are tender and vibrant.
Step 9
Then, add in the crushed garlic and let it cook for another minute, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 10
Pour in a splash of white wine and sprinkle in some dried oregano, cranking the heat back up to medium-high.
Step 11
Let it bubble away until the wine reduces and nearly evaporates, which should take about 3 minutes.
Step 12
Stir in the tomato concassé, allowing it to mingle with the mushroom mixture and simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes until the tomatoes soften beautifully.
Step 13
Add in the chopped fresh oregano, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick, stirring everything together.
Step 14
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
Step 15
Finally, return the steak medallions to the skillet, nestling them into the savory mushroom and pepper mixture.
Step 16
Cook until the steaks are warmed through and reach your desired doneness, which should take anywhere from 4 to 10 minutes.
Step 17
Enjoy the delightful medley of flavors as you serve this dish, perfect for a cozy dinner or a special occasion!.
