Steak Pizzaiola translated means the steak of the pizza maker. You might think that it should be Pizzaiolo but because steak in Italian is bistecca, and ends in an A, the proper word would also end in an A hence pizzaiola. Steak Pizzaiola to my knowledge is an American Italian invention. It was created to utilize meat that was not exactly top of the line. Pounded thin and quickly fried this method of making a steak can transform any tough cut into something enjoyable. Add a rich tomato sauce made with basil, garlic, anchovies, and red pepper flakes and it’s easy to see why this dish became a favorite here in America. Join Chef G.S. Argenti as he shows you how to make this very easy to cobble-together dish that packs a ton of flavor and satisfies that craving for a red sauce meal.
