Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6-8 oz each) Sirloin steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 cup Canned diced tomatoes
• 2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the sirloin steaks dry with paper towels. Season them generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let them rest for a few minutes to come to room temperature.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the steaks to the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Adjust the time depending on thickness. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest under loosely tented foil.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and chili flakes, stirring frequently for about 30 seconds so the garlic becomes fragrant but doesn't burn.

Step 4

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), balsamic vinegar, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt. Simmer the sauce for 8-10 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 5

Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh basil. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 6

To serve, spoon the warm tomato-garlic sauce over the rested steaks. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired, and extra fresh basil.

Step 7

Pair with your favorite Italian sides such as garlic bread or a mixed green salad for a complete meal.
