Ingredients
To Prepare The Steak (Ahead Of Time)
- 2 lb flank steak pounded to ½ inch thick, Certified Angus Beef® brand
- salt
- black pepper
- 1 c milk
For The Sauce*
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 small onion minced
- 1 large clove garlic minced
- 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes crushed
- ¼ tsp salt
Putting It All Together
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese (sliced or shredded)
- 1-2 small tomato sliced (optional
- roasted red pepper (optional)
- deli ham optional, sliced
- green olives (optional)
- oregano (to top)
Instructions
To Prepare The Steak (Ahead Of Time)
- Place the pounded steak into a large baking dish. Season the steak with salt and pepper and cover it with milk. (Add a little extra milk if the steak is not completely covered.)
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for 8-12 hours.
For The Sauce
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the minced onion and garlic, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the tomatoes, oregano, paprika, chile flakes, and salt. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, 10-12 minutes.
Putting It All Together
- Remove the marinating meat from the refrigerator 1 hour before you want to grill it, to let it come to room temperature.
- Preheat grill to a medium-high heat.
- Drain the milk from the steak, discarding the milk. Pat the steak dry.
- Place the steak on your preheated grill and grill the first side for 5-7 minutes, uncovered.
- Flip the flank steak.
- Spread the cooked side with your prepared pizza sauce. Spread the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, and top with the tomatoes (and other toppings if desired).
- Cover the grill and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the steak is done and the cheese has melted.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it stand for 5 minutes before slicing, to let the juices settle.
- Garnish the matambre a la pizza with oregano to serve (if desired). Serve with roasted (or grilled) potatoes and grilled bread.
Notes
- *This sauce recipe makes more than you will need for your matambre. Use the leftover sauce to dip your grilled bread and potatoes or as extra sauce for your steak. (If you don’t want to make your own pizza sauce, you will need about 1 c of thick pizza sauce.)
