Bistecca di San Marino
Bistecca di San Marino is a traditional Sammarinese dish featuring beef steaks coated in seasoned flour, pan-fried, and then slow-cooked in a rich tomato sauce with leeks and wine. The result is incredibly tender, flavorful beef infused with the savory notes of the sauce.
🧂 Ingrédients
- 1 kg Beef steak(e.g., top round, sirloin, or chuck roast, cut into 4-6 serving pieces)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 medium Leeks(trimmed and thinly sliced)
- 1.5 cup Fresh tomato sauce
- 0.5 cup Red wine
- 1 large Bay leaf
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
In a shallow dish or bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each piece of beef steak in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
💡 Conseils de pro: Ensure all sides of the steak are evenly coated. - 2
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the floured steaks for about 30-60 seconds per side until nicely browned. Remove the steaks from the pan and set aside.

Add the sliced leeks to the same pan and cook over medium heat until softened and beginning to caramelize, about 5-7 minutes. If the pan is dry, add a little more olive oil.

Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze, loosening any browned bits. Let the wine simmer for a minute.

Return the seared steaks to the pan. Add the fresh tomato sauce and the bay leaf. Stir to combine.

Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan tightly, and let it braise for at least 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender. Stir occasionally and add a splash of water or broth if the sauce becomes too thick.
💡 Conseils de pro: Low and slow cooking is key to tenderizing the beef. - 7
Once the beef is tender, remove the bay leaf. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the Bistecca di San Marino hot, spooning the sauce over the meat. It pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
💡 Conseils de pro: Discard the bay leaf before serving.
