Ingredients
 

  • 4 thin cut steaks
  • 15 ounces diced tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 8 ounces baby bell mushrooms
  • ½ small yellow onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • cup white wine, I used Pinot Grigio
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet to medium, add in the olive oil, steaks, half the salt and pepper.
  • Sauté for a few minutes on each side, until almost cooked through, then remove and set aside.
  • Add in the mushrooms, sauté for a few minutes, then remove and set aside.
  • Add in the onions, red bell pepper and remaining salt.
  • Sauté until tender, then add in the garlic and continue sautéing for 15 seconds, making sure not to brown it.
  • Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits of flavor. Allow the wine to reduce slightly, then pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, parsley and red pepper flakes.
  • Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes, then add the steaks back in and continue simmering until they are cooked to your liking. Serve with the sauce over the tops.

Recipe Notes

You can use the steak of your choice, like ribeye, NY Strip, beef tenderloin, etc.  I would steer clear of the cheaper cuts that require longer cooking time to tenderize them.
