  • my husband and I both loved this recipe. I used a shoulder cut instead of ribeye to cut down on the price. I also substituted the same amount of anise seeds for fennel seeds (just because I couldn't find fennel seeds). The sauce is very flavorful and so simple and quick. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

  • RIBEYE??????? Are you kidding? Steak pizzaiola was a dish that used inexpensive cuts of beef where I grew up. It was usually made with chuck steak and oven cooked at low heat for a long period of time. Although this recipe is well thought out, the dish may become price prohibative for some. I noticed a medium sized chuck steak the other day in a local chain market for around $14. [six months ago the same steak was about $6]. Good luck to all in the kitchen these days!!!

  • simple take on a classic italian dish. instead of using two pans I prepared the steaks first then made the sauce in the same pan. this is easy enough to add to weekly rotation.

  • Very good, hubby said he really enjoyed the rustic flavors of this dish.It is a very fast dish, but does require some organization--made the polenta, too, so had four pans going at once.
