Rao's Grilled Steak Pizzaiola
Grilled Steak Gets a Flavor Boost
A signature item in our restaurants in and in our other cookbooks, creating it for the grill was the next logical step. The char and smokiness imparted by the direct flame add more fantastic and deep flavor, especially when the steak is married with the rich tomato sauce. I have called for large steaks here, with the meat cut off the bone, a method that I think makes for a better dining experience.
Ingredients
Cooking Directions
Preheat an outdoor grill for direct cooking over high heat (550ºF).
Season the steaks with the salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature while heating the grill.
To make the sauce: Place a flameproof large skillet on the cooking heat. Add the oil and let it heat until shimmering. Add the bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 6 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Stir in the tomatoes and oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Return to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes, adding a bit more wine if the sauce gets too thick. Remove from the heat. (The sauce can be made up to 2 hours ahead.)
