Ingredients
- 7 ounces fusilli pasta (about 21/2 cups)
- 1 pound skirt steak, halved crosswise
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 ounces baby bell peppers (4 to 6 peppers), quartered lengthwise, stems and seeds discarded
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes from a box (such as Pomì)
- 1 cup torn fresh basil
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, season the steak with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the steak and cook until well browned, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet along with the bell peppers, red onion, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, stir in the wine and cook until almost evaporated, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the pasta and any steak juices to the sauce; toss until warmed through, about 1 minute, adding the reserved cooking water as necessary to loosen. Season with salt and pepper and stir in 3/4 cup basil. Divide among bowls. Thinly slice the steak and serve on the pasta. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup basil.

Reviews
This was excellent. I used a small sirloin steak and fresh chopped tomatoes and followed the rest of the recipe as written. I’ll definitely make again.
Very good!!! Leftovers weren’t that great as the steak got tough. But the night of – perfection!
i used fresh diced tomatoes in replace of the boxed ones and it turned out great. small servings, but worth it.
