Sauce Ingredients:

4 tbsp. olive oil

4 whole cloves garlic, peeled

1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes

3 sprigs fresh oregano, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 yellow or orange bell pepper, chopped

1 Vidalia onion, chopped

1 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp honey

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Steak Ingredients:

4 boneless steaks (ribeye, New York strip, or filet mignon)

2 tbsp. olive oil

Kosher salt

Fresh-ground pepper

Other ingredients:

1 box pasta noodles (spaghetti or linguini), boiled

Parmesan cheese, shredded or grated

Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions:

In a large saucepan, skillet, or dutch oven, heat 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the whole garlic cloves, chopped bell peppers, and chopped Vidalia onion, and cook until all ingredients are softened. Add the canned diced and crushed tomatoes, chopped oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper, and stir. Heat all ingredients for 1 minute, then add 1 tbsp sugar and 1 tbsp honey. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for 20 minutes, or until sauce thickens. 

Season the steaks with kosher salt and fresh-ground pepper to desired taste, and then tenderize the seasoned steaks with a meat mallet. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for approximately 4 and 1/2 minutes, then flip the steaks over and cook for an additional 4 and 1/2 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your preference. Remove the steaks from heat, place on a cookie sheet or in baking dish, and cover tightly with aluminum foil for a minimum of 5 minutes. 

Serve pasta noodles on each plate, cover pasta with the steak (whole or sliced), and top steak and noodles with sauce. Top the sauce with Parmesan and/or Mozzarella cheese, and serve.
