So I mentioned in the video and showed the process shots of this recipe from our website. The chuck steaks in the pics from our site are thinner and took much less time to braise than the thicker steaks in this video. I recommend thinner steaks. Thicker steaks can be cut in half and pounded thin. Other cuts of meat that work well for this dish are top and bottom round (not as much fat but still great braised) and flank steak. If you need more sauce, feel free to add another can of tomatoes especially if you want to serve with pasta. The ingredient amounts (in grams too) are right in the description and the print recipe is linked there as well. As always, thanks for liking our recipes and videos and sharing our family table each week.
I think, to satisfy the *The Taste-Tester™,* you can simply swap out the beef stock for water. Maybe reduce the amount of red wine, also; so 3/4 c. water and 1/4 c. wine? As for me, I don't think the words "too beefy" are in my vocabulary, but everybody has their own taste. Another great recipe, and almost 700K subscribers! You're doing good stuff here.
That's a great kid. He hugged you at the end. You can tell he's loved and so are you. As a high school football coach i can tell you there are not enough kids like that in this world. You're doing a great job of parenting. Worth trying the recipe just seeing that.
I used to make this for my daughter when she was little. I worked at a pizza/catering hall for yrs. Bosses mom was a little Italian lady. Taught me all kinds of stuff. My daughter would help her with Christmas cookies. She’s in her 90s now. Still going strong.
Thank you for setting the record straight about the meat to use. As a child of the depression, my family only used Chuck steak. We always had it with spaghetti or bucatini. We used dry red, Zinfandel, and some chopped onion besides peppers and mushrooms. Finally some common sense.
So you’re a child of the depression. Born when? Before 1945? With food especially in America there is no settling the record straight. My Italian grandmother who’s 97 makes this only in the summer with fresh tomatoes/peppers ect, but with steak(not prime cuts) not braised. See my point there’s no record to set straight.
@@robertnickerson4500 Yes, rule of thumb is always red wine with red meat. White wine with chicken, fish. However, so much flavor, it does not matter in this dish. Use whatever you want. Red, white, pink, beef bullion, water. 😘
Growing up in an Italian household, i had this all the time. When this video pop up on my youtube I was like Woah because I hadnt seen steak pizzaiola talked about ANYWHERE else. We always ate it over white rice.
O !!! Forgot to tell you. I had to use a big pan. The steak 🥩 was so big. So I threw it wet Reynolds wrap over the pan in the oven 2 1/2 to 3 hours later I had the most delicious steak pizza pizza ola.
never heard of this dish in my life, but it looks amazing. i have to try it next week when i go shopping :D , i was thinking gnocci would fit rly good with it. but i guess i try rice first :)
If you had typed in RUclips...”Bistecche alla Pizzaiola” or “Carne alla Pizzaiola“….being an Italian dish, you would have found several videos. :) Ciao from Italy !
Omgosh totally forgot about this dish my immigrant Italian parents made. I’m 69 and cook everything I grew up with but did forget this dish!!! Honestly do not recall what meat they used. Thanks for the memory. Will make it soon with polenta.
My Irish mother made a version of this that she called "Swiss Steak". It had green peppers instead of red and had no basil or cheese, but other than that, it was exactly the same. We ate it with mashed potatoes, of course!
Yeah, I’ve never heard of this recipe but I have heard of Swiss steak and had that all the time as a kid. In fact, I loved that sauce as gravy for my potatoes.
And in Hungary it's just called a plain old Pörkölt (what other call Goulash and isn't the same as actual Gulyás which is a smoky flavoured soup made in a Bogrács), usually made with red wine, no oregano and no garlic. It seems every European country got this food in some form or another.
Making this tomorrow night!!! Excellent dish…..Most of our restaurants around here in the NY area serve this. My Italian grandma made this a lot!! She used to say “Youa gonna pay a lot for this dish when I’m gone” in her Italian accent!!! Love you grandma
Looks delicious as always! And James is great at giving honest, thoughtful critiques, I love seeing younger folks learning about proper cooking at that age. This is quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite cooking channels.
Chuck steak is one of my favourite cuts of beef. Inexpensive, full of flavour, and versatile. Pot roast, stewed, makes the best ground beef. This recipe really does look good. Thanks for sharing.
So this quickly became a family favorite. My mom used to make something similar when I was growing up but always featured some left over meat... usually something like two day old roast beef which by then was pretty flavorless and cardboard like. I don't think it was cooked for nearly as long (it was sliced very thin) but the sauce was always garnished with lots of capers. They always added some fireworks to what would have otherwise been pretty bland mix. After the first time I made this, we had the leftovers a few days later, this time with the capers and it was like going home again. Thanks for that!
Had this all the time but mostly as a quick sauce. Almost exact ingredients as detailed here apart from the meat. Usually thinner and often veal. Mum would casserole the thicker chuck steak as a slow cook for 2-4 hours. A sauce for a thousand dishes. Excellent content and mouth watering memories. Grazie.
OUTSTANDING! Great recipe that was a hit with the crowd. I added more tomatoes for some pasta and a guest recommended an addition of black olives. Another recipe of yours into the recipe file. Thanks.
I ate this all the time growing up with either chuck or round steak. My grandmother called it Swiss Steak. It had peppers, onions and tomatoes, no oregano, maybe it had thyme. I loved it we had it with egg noodles.
I've made this before, but never cooked it in the sauce for a long time. It makes sense that the taste tester would says it tastes like a Sunday sauce. Grandpa Contini always said to use the cheap steak for this, because it was a poor man, "the pizza maker's" steak. I almost always use the cheap chuck steaks they cut at Giant Eagle. Great dish! I will definitely try it this way, because it looks great! Thanks.
I used to have this at an Italian restaurant in Chicago years ago. I tried a recipe once that I found online but it was disappointing. Your recipe, especially the amount of garlic, looks similar to what I had at that restaurant. My mouth is watering! If it wasn’t so late I’d make it tonight! We love your channel and no nonsense approach to cooking.
OMG! I had this sooo long ago in London and have never forgotten it! I was 16 and my parents were paying so for sure it wasn’t grilling steak. I’ve never seen it on a menu since, nor seen a recipe. I long ago thought it must have been dreamed up by that specific restaurant. You have made my day, year, decade, old age! This sounds the way I remember it tasting. It never occurred to me that I was hanging out with the wrong set of Italians (we have a lot of them here in Toronto). This goes into my make-it-often cookbook for sure! 💕🇨🇦
I tried this dish and it was fantastic. My mom made Swiss steak which this dish reminded me of. A different taste but beautiful. There's nothing like using tomatoes to tenderize tougher types of meat. Thank you I now have a weekly meal for my calender.
It’s a lot like Sunday Sauce- the meat, the fond, the mushrooms, onions, garlic all flavor the sauce which in turn flavors the meat. Like making baciole in San Marzano tomatoes. Great idea! I do this with veal or chicken but I call it cacciatore. And I may have some different twists here & there, so not everything is the same dish.
Excellent! Our family made this, and I've made it for my wife and kids, but I never knew its proper name. My dad called it Swiss steak but we were aware that Swiss steak is actually a different recipe for cooking low and slow.
Gosh my family never made this so I’m excited to try it. It is simmering as I type this & it smells amazing! It’s a warm fall day in upper NYS & my windows are open. When I just went out to water plants, the entire area smells so delicious…neighbors are probably wondering,what is that crazy wop cooking up tonight! The only change I made was adding fresh thyme & rosemary because we have a ton of it in the garden. Can’t wait to have this later for dinner! Ciao🇮🇹🍷🍝 Thank you for another great recipe!
Yum. My mum used to make pizzaiola with cheap lamb chops and plenty of onion; obviously less cooking time for lamb. It made an epic suggheto, nice and light. I’m going to try this recipe👍
I know it’s not news but I squeeze a lemon on top at the end, that works to blends the flavor, and cuts the heavy taste. when I use beef or pork in sauce. Brightens it lovely. TY boys
I laughed when I saw this. When I first got married this was one of the only things I knew how to make really good. We had it so often we got tired of it! LOL!
Looks great and easy too!! Definitely need to try this. I've done a number of your recipes and they are crowd pleasers. James is great throwing in his experienced opinion and gives Dad a hug at the end - nice family stuff. Keep the recipes coming!!
A great way to braise beef. A little more wine and red for me, maybe a shallot too? You did mention that. Your dish looks fabulous, wish I could be eating it. I am really enjoying your recipes , I’m a new subber. Thank you.
If you have an ALDIs near you they have great stew beef…..( angus). I noticed the Chuck steaks were very expensive where I live too…plus they shrink as you cook them, I bought 3 packages of stew beef @ about $30. Total. It was a lot of meat! Hope that helps!
I see this done with expensive cuts in lots of videos. This was always a slow cooked cheap cut meal and so delicious. Chuck steak or rump. Collagen releases into the sauce with the slow cooking making it amazing. Love your method.
didn’t realize this dish has a name - we ate this growing up (but like everything it wasn't written down). I will make this today instead of your beef burgundy for dinner (which I was planning on). This one hits close to home emotionally - thank you!!!! New to your channel and appreciate seeing all the ingredients together before you start cooking
Love that you depict the "pat-dry" which is extremely important if you wanna get great colour on foods. Not just steak but even veg also. I hope everyone comes to value the pat-dry in the same way i have. It has bequeathed much food joy into my life
Looks so delicious! Growing up my mom made Swiss steak , which was this tomato base version served over rice. My sister's version is the cream based gravy version served over egg noodles. Totally different Swiss steaks but I loved them both equally!
This looks really delicious and getting an 8.5 from your son 👍🏻 I'm definitely trying this. Thanks for the recipe and the showing us how's done. Have a good one.

How do I get one of those burners that you use ? The hot plate ?

I love that James isn't afraid to give a good critique of what he thinks. Now, we keep in mind that's just HIS taste, but he does a GREAT job!!!
I love this channel. I'm going to make this steak pizzaiola too
The lad has learnt well from his dad, cooking is about what you like. Not sticking to a recipe verbatim.
Yes. YOUNG TASTE BUDS.....lol.
he brought his son up right, good kid 🥰🥰
We are not restarded, I could figure

I like this guy a lot. He's clear-headed and efficient in his presentations/demonstrations. Thank you . . .
Yep, I’ve become a pretty big fan of his as I increase my Italian food repertoire. There’s a certain and common sense in his recipes and presentation.
Thank you for setting the record straight about the meat to use. As a child of the depression, my family only used Chuck steak. We always had it with spaghetti or bucatini. We used dry red, Zinfandel, and some chopped onion besides peppers and mushrooms. Finally some common sense.
In a dish like this using a high priced steak would be a sin. Need a fairly tough fatty piece to braise .
I was going to ask about the red wine. I always used that instead of white for this meal.
So you’re a child of the depression. Born when? Before 1945? With food especially in America there is no settling the record straight. My Italian grandmother who’s 97 makes this only in the summer with fresh tomatoes/peppers ect, but with steak(not prime cuts) not braised. See my point there’s no record to set straight.

My mom made a killer steak pizzaiola back in the day. She used New York strip steaks.
First time viewer. I reallly like the nonchalant way you speak to the audience. Subed and will definitely be checking out more of your videos.
My Italian husband has never heard of this dish and I’m going to make it in the oven.
Omgosh totally forgot about this dish my immigrant Italian parents made. I’m 69 and cook everything I grew up with but did forget this dish!!! Honestly do not recall what meat they used. Thanks for the memory. Will make it soon with polenta.

It’s very sweet to see father and son making memories over good food. ❤
I use an egg slicer to cut mushrooms. It’s faster and makes the slices nice and even. I use the slicer for strawberries, too.
As a fungus hater I use agrabage can to cut shrooms lol .
Never would have thought of that. What a great and practical tip.
Thanks 😊.

Love the way this video was made. Minimal fluff, direct and to the point. Honest criticism after. I wish other food channels would take note.
My mother always did this with chuck pounded thin. It was probably my favorite weeknight meal growing up!
Just made this, and another fantastic recipe! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Delicious
OUTSTANDING! Great recipe that was a hit with the crowd. I added more tomatoes for some pasta and a guest recommended an addition of black olives. Another recipe of yours into the recipe file. Thanks.
I just found your channel. Your cooking is so easy to follow, no need for expensive hard to find ingredients that the big name chefs use.
love that father and son thing they have going on!
Your son is no longer giving everything a 10. Thats a good thing because he is learning how to recognize the different flavors of the dishes you make.
I ate this all the time growing up with either chuck or round steak. My grandmother called it Swiss Steak. It had peppers, onions and tomatoes, no oregano, maybe it had thyme. I loved it we had it with egg noodles.

oh, and the recipe was great. :-)
I made this for the first time after seeing this video. I used venison chuck, tomatoes/bell pepper/oregano all from our garden. It was a huge hit!

Totally going to do this meal, love it. Thank you and your family for the videos.
I've made this dish so many times but never tenderized the steak or added wine. Both are great ideas. Thank you for the video and tutorial.
James is extremely honest and he is fair dad!! This looked delicious!!!

try making gremolata to go with your beef/ pork braises if you haven't already
Im making this very soon. This is a perfect meal to start on a Sunday mid afternoon. Looking forward to trying it out!
Thanks, Jim. I see this for Sunday lunch in my near future, like this Sunday cause I've got all the ingredients.

Love these videos so much! I have been binge watching all day.. And James is a great taste tester and the sweetest boy!
The chuck steaks are a good idea. A longer braise will yield a more flavorful sauce. I will definitely give it a shot.
Tried your recipe this week and it turned out GREAT. Thank you for your delicious recipe. It’s a keeper. Definitely making this again.
Wow! You were reading my mind, I wanted to make this 2 days ago.
This was my (and roommates) go-to dish when we were in university. Brought back memories seeing you make it the same way we did :)

I love your critics. Around here (New Haven) most restaurants do this with a rib eye steak. I'm definitely putting this on my bucket list.
that would be an incredible waste of a rib-eye unless they're cooking the sauce separately and serving it on the side
