Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 small steaks, (each 6 ounces and 3/4 inch thick)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, (or 1 teaspoon dried), plus more for garnish
2 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/4-inch cubes (1/3 cup)

Steps:

  • Generously season steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Working in batches if needed to avoid crowding pan, add the steaks, and sear until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium; add garlic. Cook, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and oregano. Cook over high heat until sauce is thickened, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Return steaks and any accumulated juices from plate to skillet; cover, and cook until steaks are just heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. To serve, transfer steaks to plates, and top with sauce and mozzarella; garnish with more oregano.
