Ingredients:
- 1- 1.5 pounds sirloin steak , trimmed of fat
- ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup white mushrooms , sliced
- 1 cup white onion , sliced
- 1 cup red bell pepper , sliced
- 1 cup green bell pepper , sliced
- 3-4 cloves garlic , minced
- ½ cup white wine
- 15 ounces crushed tomatoes
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh flat parsley , chopped
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- crusty bread or focaccia
Direction
- Season both sides of the sirloin steak with the salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sear the steak on both sides, approximately 1 minute on each side until lightly browned. Remove to a plate and set aside.
- If the skillet is dry, add 1 teaspoon of additional olive oil. Add the mushrooms, onion, red and green bell peppers to the skillet, sauteing for 3-4 minutes or until they start to soften. Add the garlic, sauteing for another 1-2 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan with the white wine and stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano and parsley. Reduce the heat to low.
- Return the steak to the skillet, covering with sauce. Cook on each side for an additional 3 minutes (6 minutes total). Remove the steak to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes.
- Continue to simmer the sauce while the steak is resting, stirring in the balsamic vinegar.
- Slice the sirloin against the grain and plate on dishes. Top with the simmering sauce and serve with bread.
