From the succulent meat to the intensely flavored sauce, your efforts will create a memorable impact. Round out this Italian-inspired meal with an assortment of antipasti, a fresh green salad and a side of pasta. Directions Pizzaiola Sauce Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté, stirring often, until light golden, about 5 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes more. Remove the bay leaf from the wine mixture and discard it. Add the wine mixture to the pan with the tomatoes and continue to simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. Beef Tenderloin Heat the oil in a heavy sauté pan over high heat. Add the beef and sauté to the desired doneness, 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a warmed platter and cover to keep warm while completing the sauce. Return the sauté pan to medium-high heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the mushrooms and sauté until browned and any juices they have released cook away, about 4 minutes. Add the pizzaiola sauce and any juices released by the steaks. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce develops a good flavor and consistency, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve the steaks at once with the sauce.
