Makes 8 servings | Total Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil

2 sirloin steaks (1 inch thick), 1 1/2 pounds each, well trimmed

Salt and Pepper

4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1/2 cup dry red wine

1 can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes

1 tsp oregano

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season the steaks lightly on both sides with salt and pepper. Add to the pan and cook until well browned, 1-2 mins per side.
2. Transfer the steaks to a plate. Add the garlic to the pan. When it begins to brown, stir in the wine. Stir in the tomatoes and oregano. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes to thicken the sauce.
3. Return the steaks to the pan. Cook until medium rare (145°F on an instant read thermometer), 12-15 minutes, turning the steaks halfway through.
4. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Let sit for 5 minutes, then thinly slice across the grain and on the diagonal. Serve the sliced steak with the sauce.
