You can kind of do that Dimitri. It all goes very quickly. Here is my tried
and trusted recipe.

Charlie

BISTECCHE ALLA PIZZAIOLA
steak in pizzaiola sauce

Source: unknown/Charlie

2 tbs. olive oil
6 small steaks (I use sirloin) cut 1-inch thick
salt
pepper

4 cloves garlic, crushed
3/4 lb. tomatoes, peeled, seeded, roughly chopped and drained
salt
1 tsp. oregano

Smoke the oil in a pan then sauté the steaks lightly on both sides. Reduce
heat and continue cooking for 4 minutes. Remove the steaks and season them
with a little salt and pepper; keep warm.

Put the garlic cloves in the pan and brown them. Mix in the tomatoes and
seasonings. After 8 minutes of gentle cooking, replace the steaks in the
frying pan and allow to cook together with the tomatoes for a few minutes.
Serve the steaks with the sauce.
