Chef John's Steak Pizzaiola Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Beef Recipes. (Chef John's Steak Pizzaiola Recipe). There are hundreds of ways to make pizzaiola, from versions featuring slowly braised tough cuts of beef to quickly seared tenderloin medallions, like I used here. The one thing most people agree on is that you should, if at all possible, use really fresh, very sweet, vine-ripened tomatoes. Serve on top of toasted bread with mozzarella cheese.
