Omg, I made this for my best guy friend we both loved it!!!!!!!
This was very easy to make and turned out great!! Unfortunately, I didn’t have any red wine, which would have given the dish a different flavor, but it seemed just fine without it. We served the steak and sauce with slices of fried polenta, but pasta would also be a perfect side dish. This is also a good way to disguise a cheaper cut of meat. We’ll definitely make this again!
It was easy to make and my family love it.
good, but I like the very similar Pollo Alla Romano by Mario Batali more.
The recipe wasn’t bad, but it was not that flavorful. I think it would be better to use less crushed tomatoes so the garlic, onion, and pepper flavors are more pronounced.
This is a wonderful recipe. I use it mostly with left over steak and its terrific. Robin from Suffern
I really enjoyed this meal. I would suggest some rice or something the sauce can go over top. My family thought it was delicious.
Pretty good. It was definately simple, but missing a little something. Didn’t have that WOW factor…
My husband loves italian food, but is a huge citic when it comes to eatting it. Everythin can use a little more of this or that…
