Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds flank steak or sirloin, cut into 1-inch thick slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil

Instructions
Preparation
- Season the steak slices with salt and pepper. Make sure they’re evenly coated for maximum flavor.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak slices and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté until they soften, about 5 minutes. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes along with their juices. Add oregano, basil, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Return the steak slices to the skillet, reducing the heat to low. Cover and let them simmer in the tomato sauce for about 10-15 minutes.
Serving
- Once the steak is tender, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
