Instructions
- Cut the steaks into thin slices, against the grain. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet, over high heat.

- Stir the tomatoes into the mushrooms, then the water and the crushed red pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes.
