On a sheet pan, coat the steaks on both sides with the Worcestershire sauce and allow to marinate for 30 minutes, at room temperature.

When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 165˚F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke, if available.

In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the onions and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
5
Add the garlic and oregano and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in the wine. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
6
Remove the skillet from the heat. Strain the sauce into a small bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids in the strainer. Cut the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter into small 1/2-inch chunks and whisk in the sauce a little at a time. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.

After steaks have finished smoking, remove them from the grill and increase the grill temperature to 450°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
