- 2 tbsp Olive oil(For searing and brushing.)
- 1 tsp Salt(Or to taste.)
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper(Freshly ground, or to taste.)

👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a baking sheet or a large oven-safe skillet.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Prepare the matambre: Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a good sear. Season generously on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Sear the matambre: Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely browned. If not using an oven-safe skillet, transfer the seared steak to the prepared baking sheet.
⏱️ 5-7 minutes - 4
Bake the matambre: Transfer the skillet or baking sheet with the steak to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 55-57°C (130-135°F) for medium-rare, or 60-63°C (140-145°F) for medium. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
⏱️ 15-20 minutes - 5
Add toppings: Carefully remove the steak from the oven. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the top of the steak, leaving a small border. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Distribute the olives over the cheese.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Finish baking: Return the matambre to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden. The steak should still be at your desired doneness.
⏱️ 5-7 minutes - 7
Garnish and serve: Remove the matambre from the oven. Sprinkle generously with dried oregano. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thick strips against the grain. Serve immediately.
