Steps

  • Step 1

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

    Ingredients
    • 2  (1 lb) flat iron steaks

    • 4 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • Step 2

    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.

    Ingredients
    • 2 Tablespoon unsalted butter, cold

    • 1/2 Medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced

    • To Taste kosher salt

  • Step 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.

    Ingredients
    • 1 Tablespoon garlic, minced

    • 1 Teaspoon dried oregano

    • 1/4 Cup tomato paste

    • 2 1/2 Cup dry red wine

  • Step 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.
