Directions:
Heat grill or barbecue to medium-high.

Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and drizzle with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil.

Grill about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.

Transfer the steaks to a cutting board.

Tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat.

Add the onions and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.

Season with salt.

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.

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 and return the sauce to the saucepan and bring back to a slow simmer.

Cut the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter into small chunks and whisk into the sauce little by little.

Season the sauce with salt and pepper.

Thinly slice the steaks across the grain.

Divide the steak slices among 6 plates.

Drizzle the sauce over the steak, drizzle a little more extra-virgin olive oil and serve.
