How to Make Simple Italian Steak Sauce

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup dry red wine, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, and cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional) during the last minute of cooking. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Pour generously over your favorite grilled steak or chicken breast. Serve immediately and enjoy!
