Ingredients
  

For the Steak
  • 4 pieces beef sirloin steaks about 1 inch thick
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

For the Sauce
  • 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Method
 

Prepare the Steak
  1. Season the beef sirloin steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
Make the Sauce

  3. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, and red wine vinegar. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
Combine and Cook
  1. Return the seared steaks to the skillet, nestling them in the sauce.
  2. Cover the skillet and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the steaks are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Serve
  1. Once cooked, remove from heat and let the steaks rest for a few minutes.
  2. Serve hot, topped with the sauce and accompanied by your choice of sides.
