Bistecca Alla Pizzaiola Steak With The Pizzaiolos Wifes Sauce

---

Not sure where this comes from. May be from a book, may be my own, who knows anymore. I do know that we love it. Please try to use fresh oregano, i have had good results with dried but nothing beats the fresh, small leaves. It really does make a big difference. Be sure to serve with some good bread to sop up the gravy. You can use your favorite tomato sauce recipe if you wish, or, dare i say, your favorite jar. As always, the time to make it is just a guess.
