Ingredients
- 4 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Ribeye steaks, seasoned with salt and black pepper any sort of steak is fine
- 1/4 onion chopped
- 5 Garlic cloves thin slices
- 1/2 jar Tomato passata
- 3 Peeled plum tomatoes optional, add more passata if you're not using plum tomatoes
- 1 tsp. Oregano
- Basil, chopped optional, add as much as you'd like
- Parsley, chopped optional, add as much as you'd like
- Salt and Black pepper to taste
- 1/2 lb. Pasta of your preference optional if you'd like some pasta on the side
Instructions
- Let's start off by bringing a big pot of salted water to a boil.
- Next, in a medium sized pot add in about 2 tbsp. olive oil and heat on medium. Once warm, add in the onions and garlic, and saute them until they get tender, slight brown is okay. Make sure not to burn them!
- Now you can add in the three peeled plum tomatoes, and the half jar of tomato passata. Continue cooking on medium maintaining a simmering boil. With time, the plum tomatoes will cook down, and fall apart into the sauce. You can speed up the process by breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add in 1/2 tsp. oregano, and mix. Optional step, you can also add in some of the basil and parsley, and save some for use later. Add sea salt and black pepper to taste. Stir occasionally, and maintain a slow simmer.
- Now in a frying pan, heat up about 2 tbsp. of olive oil. Once hot, place both steaks in the pan and cook each side on medium for about 1.5 - 2 minutes per side. They will finish up cooking in the sauce later.
- After cooking the steaks on both sides, the tomato sauce can be poured over the steaks in the pan. Evenly spread out the sauce over the steaks, ensuring they are completely covered in sauce. Place the heat on low to maintain a slow simmer. You want it to cook very slowly so that it does not overcook and remains tender and juicy at the end. Evenly sprinkle the rest of the oregano over the sauce and steaks. Optional step, add more basil and parsley over the sauce and steaks. Cook the steaks for about 12 minutes.
- While the steaks are cooking you can add in the pasta to cook.
- Once completed, serve the steak with extra sauce covering the steak. The pasta can also be mixed in the sauce. Optionally you can add cheese over your pasta.
