Steak Pizzaiola

Written by on in Dinner

Despite the name, this is NOT a form of pizza! Braising meat in a tomato sauce tenderizes the meat and makes it delicious. This is a great budget-friendly family meal to serve over pasta. You can make with individual steaks, but I used a London broil because it is the perfect size for my family of 4.
