Instructions

Step 1

Season steaks with salt and pepper to taste. Put flour into a small dish and dredge each steak, shaking off excess flour, and transfer to a plate. Heat oil in a 12" high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, sear steak, flipping once, until browned and medium rare, about 4 minutes. Transfer steaks to a plate. Repeat with remaining steaks.

Step 2

Return skillet to medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 3 minutes. Add chile flakes and wine and cook until wine has reduced by 3⁄4, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, basil, and oregano, season with salt and pepper to taste, and bring to a simmer. Add steaks and smother in sauce. Serve hot.
