Steak Oreganato
Actor and cookbook author Stanley Tucci learned this quick, simple method for preparing steak from his nonna, who often served beef as part of multi-course family meals. “We don’t serve meat ‘American style,’ with a vegetable and potato on the side,” Tucci explains. “Instead we begin with pasta, followed by meat accompanied by a simply cooked vegetable. We finish with a green salad followed by nuts and fresh fruit.
