Carne alla Pizzaiola Pugliese, la prepara Mia Mamma | Ricetta di Famiglia Semplice e Gustosa

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Season the beef with salt and black pepper.

Sear the beef in the skillet until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the beef and set aside on a plate.

In the same skillet, add sliced onion and bell pepper; sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes.

Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Deglaze the skillet with red wine, scraping up any browned bits, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Stir in tomato sauce and canned tomatoes; add oregano and basil.

Return the beef to the skillet, ensuring it's submerged in the sauce.

Cover and simmer on low heat for 1-1.5 hours, until the beef is tender.

If using, add capers and mozzarella cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Serve hot with crusty bread or over pasta.
