Recipe: Pizzaiola Steak (4)

Ingredients...

1 1/2 lb thinly sliced sirloin or rump steak (or veal or skinned chicken breasts)
6 tbsps olive oil
3 cloves garlic, peeled & crushed
2 tbsps chopped parsley
3 tbsps chopped basil
salt & pepper
1 1/2 lb canned tomatoes, sieved

Instructions...

1) Trim any gristle and fat off the meat. Flatten it as much as possible with a meat mallet and set aside.

2) Heat oil in a frying pan wide enough to take all of the meat in a single layer. Add garlic and fry gently for about three minutes.

3) Add the tomatoes, parsley and basil. Stir and bring to the boil. Slip the steaks into the sauce. Cook very quickly for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with plenty of salt and pepper and serve at once.
