Equipment

  • Outdoor Barbecue Grill
  • Food Processor

Ingredients

  • 4 top sirloin steaks

Meat Marinade:

Tomato Basil Sauce:

  • 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 28 ounces San Marzano D.O.P. tomatoes
  • 6 fresh basil sprigs plus additional for garnish
  • ½ teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
  • coarse kosher salt

Instructions

  • Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Place the steaks in a resealable plastic bag.
  • Pour the marinade over the steaks. Refrigerate marinating steaks for at least 2 hours.
  • Remove marinating steaks from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Heat the grill to medium heat. Remove steaks from the marinade and place on a hot grill.
  • Grill steaks for approximately 8 minutes on each side, turning only once. The internal temperature of the steak should reach 145 degrees for a medium steak (use a meat thermometer).
  • Heat olive oil in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat, makinng sure the olive oil doesn't turn brown. Add garlic and sauté until a light golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, basil sprigs, and dried crushed red pepper to a food processor and pulse a few times. Add tomato mixture to the garlic in the saucepan.
  • Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer until mixture is reduced to a thick sauce consistency (about 3 cups), stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
  • Season sauce to taste with coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Top grilled steaks with tomato basil sauce. Garnish with shredded basil.
