Salt & pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes

Pound the steak with a mallet until thin if using bottom round. Season the meat well with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet, and brown the meat well on both sides. Remove it and keep warm. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and saute until tender. Add the tomatoes and the wine and season with salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes as needed.
