1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 cup dry red wine |
2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans petite diced tomatoes, undrained |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried basil |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon sugar |

Directions:
1. Sauté garlic in hot oil in a large skillet over medium heat 1 minute or until lightly browned. Carefully stir in wine and next 5 ingredients; bring to a boil. Stir in steak. Reduce heat to medium low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes or until sauce is thickened.
