Seared Strip Steaks with Braised Peppers and Onion image

Lean cuts of meat like strip steak are best cooked with a brief sear; they stay tender while taking on a crisp, smoky exterior. Here, you saute a few peppers and onions, then braise them in tomato sauce to make a rich ragu, sopping up all the flavor left in the pan from the beef.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 boneless New York strip steaks (each 1 inch thick; about 1 1/2 pounds total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 red, orange, or yellow bell peppers (stems, ribs, and seeds removed), thinly sliced lengthwise (3 cups)
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced (3 cups)
2 basil sprigs, plus fresh leaves, sliced if large, for serving
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
1 can (6 ounces) tomato sauce (3/4 cup)
Steamed rice, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Pat steaks dry. Generously season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with oregano and coriander. Let stand 5 minutes.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil. Add steaks in a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, until a brown crust forms on bottoms, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook, undisturbed, until a crust forms on other sides and a thermometer inserted into thickest parts reads 125 degrees for medium-rare, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium; wipe any blackened bits from bottom of skillet with a paper towel. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, bell peppers, onion, and basil sprigs; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are golden and tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Add vinegar; cook until reduced by half, about 30 seconds. Add tomato sauce, accumulated juices from steak, and 1/3 cup water. Simmer, stirring a few times, until reduced and thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove and discard basil.
  • Thinly slice steak against the grain. Serve over rice, with braised vegetables and basil leaves.
