Number Of Ingredients 5

1 small onion
a 14- to 15-ounce can whole tomatoes in purée
1 fresh serrano or jalapeño chile
3/4 pound skirt steak
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F.
  • Halve onion and thinly slice. Drain tomatoes, reserving purée, and finely chop. Wearing protective gloves, seed chile if desired for a milder sauce and finely chop. Cut steak crosswise into 4 pieces. Pat steak dry and season with salt.
  • Heat a dry 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot and add oil. Sauté steak about 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare and transfer to a baking dish. Keep steak warm in oven.
  • To skillet add onions with tomatoes, reserved purée, chile, and salt to taste and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened slightly and onion is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in any juices that have accumulated on baking dish from steak. Serve steak with sauce. Serves 2.
