Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces beef steaks (sirloin, ribeye, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Take the beef steaks out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature (about 15-20 minutes).
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and tent with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the can of crushed tomatoes, red chili flakes, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar to the skillet. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or chili flakes if desired.
Return the steaks to the skillet, spooning the spicy tomato sauce over them. Let them cook together for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes or a side of grilled vegetables.
