Remove steak from pan and set aside. Then add the remaining oil along with the garlic and onions in the pan. Let cook for 3-5 minutes, add in half the herbs to the cooking onions, and mix well.

Then place steak on top of onions placing onions around and on top of the steak, as well. Sprinkle with remaining herbs and add in the two cups of tomato puree to the pan. Cover and bring to a simmer, then turn down to lowest heat setting.
