Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (28-ounce can) crushed tomatoes
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed
1 (3-inch long) serrano or Thai chile, stemmed, 1/2 of the seeds removed, and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons smoked paprika, plus extra for seasoning
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
2 (1 pound) rib-eye steaks, each about 1-inch thick
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the sauce: In a food processor, combine the tomatoes, onions, garlic, capers, chile, sugar, paprika, and salt. Process until slightly chunky. Pour the sauce into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 25 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and smoked paprika, to taste.
  • For the steaks: Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Drizzle the steaks on both sides with olive oil. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill for 5 to 6 minutes each side for medium-rare. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes.
  • Slice the steaks across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices and serve with the sauce.
