Ingredients

Directions

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Generously season the steaks with salt and pepper and drizzle with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Grill to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let stand 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add the garlic and oregano and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in the wine. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Strain the sauce into a small bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids in the strainer and return the sauce to the saucepan and bring back to a slow simmer. Cut the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter into small 1/2-inch chunks and whisk in the sauce a little at a time. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Place filets on each of 6 dinner plates. Drizzle the sauce over the filets and serve.

    This dish is great, I don't love the sauce, but it's edible.

    Followed the recipe exactly... but the red wine sauce was extremely acidic, even after reduction by half. After whisking in the butter, I added about two tsp. of brown sugar to cut the acidity and let the sauce sit off the heat for about 5 minutes. It thickened nicely, and was a perfect balance of flavors. I served with plain mashed potatoes and asparagus.

    Excellent recipe! Our company loved it. Intense flavors. Very easy to make. I didn't add the last 4 tablespoons of butter to the recipe, and it was still great. I used Columbia Crest (Founders Estate Cabernet. My favorite wine!
