Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 4 beef top sirloin steaks, lean (3 oz each)
  • 4 oz white mushrooms, rinsed and quartered (about 1 C)
  • 1 large shallot, minced (about 2 Tbsp)
  • 1 Tbsp garlic, minced (about 2 – 3 cloves)
  • 1 C canned no-salt-added diced tomatoes
  • 2 Tbsp no-salt-added tomato paste
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 C low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, rinsed, dried, and minced (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 Tbsp fresh tarragon, rinsed, dried, and chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottom sauté pan.
  3. Gently blot steaks dry with paper towels and then carefully place them in the hot pan.
  4. Sauté both sides, about 2 – 3 minutes, until golden to dark brown.
  5. Remove steaks from pan, and put them on a baking sheet to finish in the preheated oven for an additional 3 – 5 minutes or to your desired doneness (to a minimum internal temperature of 145 ºF).
  6. To make the sauce, pour off any excess grease from the pan.  Add mushrooms and sauté until lightly brown, about 3 – 4 minutes.
  7. Lower the heat, and add shallot and garlic.  Cook gently over low heat for about 2 minutes, until tender, but not brown.
  8. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, and apple cider vinegar, and cook an additional 3 minutes.
  9. In a bowl, mix beef broth and cornstarch.
  10. Add broth mixture, parsley and tarragon to the sauté pan.  Bring to a boil on medium -high heat while stirring constantly.  Lower the heat and simmer for 2 – 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  11. Serve one steak with ½ cup sauce.
