Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the vegetables and steaks
- Peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Remove the stems and seeds from the sweet mini peppers; thinly slice the peppers.
- Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
Place the steaks between 2 sheets of parchment paper or waxed paper. Pound with a rolling pin or heavy frying pan to flatten the steaks to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
2
Cook the polenta
In a medium sauce pot, bring 2 cups [4 cups] lightly salted water to a boil. Add the polenta in a thin stream, whisking constantly. Reduce to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until the polenta is tender and the mixture is thick and creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm. While the polenta is cooking, prepare the rest of the meal.
3
Start cooking the steaks
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the steaks and cook, turning once, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.
4
Cook the vegetables and sauce; finish the dish
In the same pan used for the steaks, if dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and sweet mini peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes and Italian spice blend, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium. Add the steaks and cook until the sauce starts to thicken and the steaks are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes for medium, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the polenta to individual bowls and top with the steaks. Spoon over the remaining sauce from the pan, sprinkle with the Parmesan, and serve.
