- 8 fresh plum tomatoes or 1 28-ounce can San Marzano tomatoes

- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3/4 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced

- 1 cubanelle pepper or mild frying pepper, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, sliced

Preparation
If using fresh tomatoes, mark skins with an X and drop tomatoes into boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Cold shock them in ice water then peel and coarsely chop.
Heat grill or cast-iron skillet. Season the steaks with Kosher salt and black pepper.
Grill or cook steaks on the grill or in the hot pan for about 8-10 minutes, turning once for medium-rare to medium doneness. Allow steaks to rest a few minutes then thinly slice the steaks against the grain and serve topped with lots of chunky mushroom, pepper and onion pizzaiola sauce.
