I made this tonight and my husband and I absolutely loved it. The only change I made was to use sweet red peppers and I cut the steak into one inch pieces after the initial sear to make it easier to serve and eat. Thank you for a delicious recipe.

I feel like a big jerk for not reviewing this before, because I have been using this recipe for several years now and love it! It's really delicious and always a hit. When there is anything left over, it makes for great lunch the next day. But it's so yummy everyone usually just stuffs themselves way beyond capacity and there isn't any left, hah. I think it's excellent with the hot cherry peppers, as recommended, but make sure they are REAL ones. I got some in a jar once that were too sweet and they messed up the flavor. I also use sirloin, but I'm sure the stew beef is just as fantastic! I like to cut the beef up, because I find it lends itself well to being able to put the entire concoction over a bed of whole wheat pasta. Thanks very much for this yummy recipe!

Easy and delicious! I used jalapeno peppers in place of the cherry peppers, increased the garlic and used 2 onions, also I used sirloin in place of the stew meat, thanks Lainey!...Kitten:)

Hi Lainey, thanks for a tasty recipe! As discussed with you earlier, I couldn't find cherry peppers, so used some roasted sweet red peppers along with a birds eye chili, and it worked really well. This is good, hearty Italian flavour, and all done in the one pan! I bet it would taste great tomorrow, too... if only there was some left!

Made this for dinner last night and it was delicious! I've never had or ever made steak pizzaiola before. It was a huge hit with my husband. He's taking some for his lunch today. Thank you so much for this recipe.
