Preparation

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a small saucepan over
medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and
chile; season with salt and pepper. Cook,
stirring often, until soft, about 5 minutes.

Add tomato paste to saucepan and
cook, stirring, until beginning to darken,
about 1 minute. Stir in Worcestershire
sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, and
hot sauce; simmer until slightly thickened,
about 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender
and purée with 1/2 cup water until smooth.
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into
a small bowl, if desired. Set sauce aside.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large
skillet over medium-high heat. Season
steak with salt and pepper and cook,
turning occasionally, until deeply browned
and an instant-read thermometer registers
130°F for medium-rare, 8–10 minutes.

Transfer meat to a cutting board; let rest
5 minutes before slicing. Serve with sauce.

DO AHEAD: Steak sauce can
be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.
