Ingredients

  • 2 pound sirloin steak
  • 1 large bell pepper
  • 8 ounces white button mushrooms
  • 1 large onion
  • 8 cloves garlic
  • 1 28 ounce can plum tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup low sodium beef stock
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Remove steak from refrigerator at least 1/2 hour before cooking.  Preheat oven to 400f.  Crush by hand or pulse blend the plum tomatoes.  Chop garlic cloves in half.  Slice peppers and onions into strips.  Clean dirt off mushrooms and slice.
  • Season steak with 1.5-2 tsp of kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on all sides.  Heat large heavy steel or cast iron pan to medium-high heat.  When pan is hot (about 2 minutes) add 1 Tbsp of olive oil.  Sear steak for 2-3 minutes per side then remove and set aside.
  • Lower pan heat to medium and add 3 more Tbsp of olive oil.  Add garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes until golden.  Remove garlic from pan then add peppers, onions and mushrooms.  Saute for  7-10 minutes until soft.  Add the oregano and crushed red pepper and stir.
  • Add the beef stock and wine and turn heat to high for 2 minutes to cook off the alcohol.  After 2 minutes reduce heat to medium low and add the tomatoes to the pan and stir together.  Add the garlic if desired or discard.  Let the sauce cook for 5 minutes then taste test and adjust salt or pepper if necessary. 
  • Slice the steak into 1" thick strips and place in the sauce pan spooning some of it on top.  Place pan in oven and cook until desired doneness.  Cook to 130 internal for medium rare which should take 5-10 minutes in the oven.  
  • When done remove from oven and serve with chopped fresh herbs like basil or parsley if desired.  Also add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on top and serve with crusty Italian bread for the sauce.  Enjoy!

Notes

  • Sirloin steak is used but any type of steak like ribeye, porterhouse, NY strip, etc will work.  
  • 2 tsp of kosher salt is added to the steak to properly season it.  No extra salt was added to the sauce so adjust according to personal preference.
  • The sauce can easily be doubled for pasta.  If doing so, remove some of the sauce before the final finishing of the steak in the oven.
