Ingredients

Fra Diavolo BBQ Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Spanish onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • 3 cups canned plum tomatoes, pureed
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 porterhouse steaks, about 1 1/2-inches thick
  • Cherry Pepper-Tomato in Vinaigrette, recipe follows

Directions

Fra Diavolo BBQ Sauce:

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until thickened, about 35 to 40 minutes.

Heat grill to high. Season steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill, on 1 side, until crusty and slightly charred, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn steaks over, close the hood and continue grilling for 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Baste with the sauce during the last few minutes. Remove from the grill and brush with more of the sauce. Let meat rest for 5 minutes, then slice into 1/4 inch thick slices and top with the Cherry Pepper-Tomato salad.

Cherry Pepper-Tomato in Vinaigrette:

  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 pound cherry peppers, stemmed, seeded and roasted or prepared (in jar), sliced
  • 2 piquillo peppers, sliced
  • 1/2 pound cherry tomatoes, sliced in 1/2
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Whisk together vinegar, garlic and salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the peppers, tomatoes and parsley and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning and let sit 30 minutes at room temperature before serving.

    The FLAVOR is delicious!!! The vinaigrette "sauce" on a good steak grilled over charcoal...outstanding! I encourage everyone who likes red meat and BBQ to try this. Enjoy! Annie, Milpitas, CA

    The combination of flavors with the barbeque sauce and the cherry pepper ,tomato salsa had the wow factor. I was afraid it would be too spicy hot, but Bobby Flay knows how to comfine his flavors. The best steak I ever had on the grill. Judy
