Steak with Ancho Chili Sauce

Cook Time: 30 minutes
Serves 4

Ingredients
1 (14.5) can diced tomatoes
1/2 vidalia onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic
1 Tbsp. ancho chili powder
1 tsp. minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
1 Tbsp. molasses
30 oz. carne asada or strip steak
vegetable oil

Directions

Puree tomatoes, onion, garlic, ancho powder, chipotle chiles, molasses, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp of pepper in a food processor until smooth.

Pat steak dry with paper towel, season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steaks until browned, about 3-5 minutes per side.

 

Transfer to cutting board and tent with foil. Add 2 tsp. oil and tomato puree to pan. Cook about 7 minutes, until sauce has thickened. 

We served the steak and sauce on warmed tortillas, but they are just as good on their own. Enjoy!!
