Description

This Pan-Broiled Steak with Tomatoes and Garlic is a hearty, home-style Italian dish that delivers rich, savory flavors in minimal time. The key to this recipe is the quick-cooking tomato sauce, which melds perfectly with the browned beef. Juicy T-bone, porterhouse, or sirloin steaks are seared to perfection and finished in the pan with a vibrant sauce made from fresh tomatoes, aromatic garlic, and dried oregano. The result is a tender steak coated in a warm, herbaceous glaze that is both comforting and satisfying. This meal is ideal for weeknight dinners when you want restaurant-quality food without the fuss. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread to soak up the sauce or simple roasted potatoes. With simple ingredients and straightforward steps, this dish brings the warmth of an Italian kitchen to your table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Salt 3 pounds of beef T-bone, porterhouse, or sirloin steak (about 1 inch thick) to taste.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy 8-inch skillet over moderate heat.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat, add the finely chopped garlic, and stir for 30 seconds with a wooden spoon to infuse the oil.
  4. Add the seeded sliced tomatoes, crumbled dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a few grindings of black pepper.
  5. Return the pan to moderate heat and cook, stirring with the wooden spoon, until the tomato liquid has boiled away.
  6. Remove the tomato sauce from the heat and set aside.
  7. In a 10-inch skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over high heat.
  8. Brown the steak in the hot oil for a couple of minutes on each side.
  9. Reduce the heat to moderate and spoon the prepared tomato sauce over and around the meat.
  10. Cover the skillet and cook for three to five minutes, or until the steak is done to your desired doneness.
  11. Test for doneness by making a small incision near the bone and judging the redness of the meat.
  12. Remove the steak from the skillet and transfer it to a carving board.
  13. Simmer the remaining sauce in the skillet for 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits (fond) from the bottom of the pan.
  14. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  15. Slice the steak and serve immediately, topped with the warm tomato-garlic sauce.
