Matambre a la Pizza Recipe 🍖🔥🧀

 



A classic Argentinian dish, Matambre a la Pizza is a flavorful cut of beef topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and herbs, similar to pizza but with a meaty twist.

Ingredients:

For the Matambre (Flank Steak)

  • 1.5 - 2 lbs (700g - 900g) beef flank steak (matambre)

  • 2 cups milk (to tenderize)

  • 4 cups water

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 3 cloves garlic (crushed)

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

For the Toppings:

  • 1 cup tomato sauce

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 small onion (thinly sliced)

  • 1 roasted red bell pepper (sliced)

  • 1 tsp fresh basil (chopped)

  • 2 eggs (optional, cooked sunny-side-up for topping)

Instructions:

  1. Tenderizing the Meat

    • Place the matambre in a shallow dish and cover it with milk. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight for extra tenderness.

  2. Pre-cooking the Meat

    • In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the bay leaf, crushed garlic, salt, and black pepper.

    • Remove the meat from the milk marinade and place it in the boiling water. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 40–50 minutes until tender.

    • Remove and let it cool slightly before proceeding.

  3. Assembling the Matambre a la Pizza

    • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

    • Place the cooked matambre on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish, fat-side down.

    • Spread an even layer of tomato sauce over the meat.

    • Sprinkle garlic powder, black pepper, and oregano over the sauce.

    • Layer shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly.

    • Top with sliced onions, roasted red bell peppers, and a drizzle of olive oil.

    • Bake for 15–20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

  4. Finishing Touches

    • (Optional) Fry eggs sunny-side-up and place them on top of the finished dish.

    • Garnish with fresh basil and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra spice.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve hot, sliced into portions, with a side of chimichurri sauce or a fresh salad.

  • Enjoy with crispy fries or grilled vegetables for a full Argentinian-style meal.
