Tuscan Sky Steak

I prepared this for our Noche buena 2009. Everyone gushed over it and asked for round two this valentines!

5 Porterhouse steak 1 inch thick
2-3 cups red wine (i used semi dry but i think dry is better)
2 cups tomato paste ( i you want, you may add canned sliced/peeled tomatoes)
1/4 cup dried basil leaves (i think fresh is tasteful)
6 tablespoons olive oil
8 cloves garlic, chopped
4 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoon salt
Vegetable sidings
halved carrots, 12 pieces baguio beans, tomato slices, and sliced lemon rings



Preparation:
1. Except for the steaks, mix everything in the blender, chop until smooth and thick.
2. Pour into a shallow plastic dish. Add steaks and turn until evenly coated.
3. Cover and place in refrigerator overnight (I had mine for almost 24 hours as i prepared it the night before).
4. Finally, preheat grill (mine is over the top of the stove). Remove steaks from marinade and grill on high heat until each reaches the desired doneness. Discard marinade.
5. Grill vegetables for sidings.




SAUCE (You may use tomato ketchup or worcestershire sauce, but i used this groovy sauce for experiment, and i'm glad, it worked)

Orange-Celery Sauce

2 medium oranges, peeled and each rind removed and cleaned with fibers
5 stalks of celery with leaves, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 onion

Mix all in a blender and chop until smooth and thick.
Serve as sauce for the steak.
