Steak Pizzaiola

Steak Pizzaiola is adish that is native to Naples and translates to steak in the style of the pizzamaker.  There are many versions of thisdish but they all share the common thread of tomatoes as the predominantingredient in the sauce.  Undoubtedly my version isfar from authentic in a true Italian kitchen.  I have after all added a bunch of veggies tothis one that aren't native to the dish. But the added veggies are not only very tasty, they also help to makethe overall dish much more nutritionally balanced than if this were just beingserved with a starchy side dish alone.  Thedish could also be made lighter with a leaner cut of beef.  I used well marbled bone in New York stripsteak for the extra flavor.  Butthis could easily be done with beef tender loin or top round sirloin to lightenthings up.
