Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and brown the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side.

Notes
Don’t rush the browning step for a better crust. Consider adding Worcestershire sauce to the tomato sauce for deeper flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
