This was delicious. I didn't have any redwine, so I experimented and used frozen grape juice concentrate instead. I also added a few dashes worchestershire sauce, and pinch of brown sugar. It turned out wonderful. I also added mushrooms. I'm not sure how it was supposed to taste with red wine, but I really liked the end result with grape juice.

Wonderful recipe! The wine is key, I think, in making this not taste like pasta sauce on beef. I did mine in the crockpot (with no precooking) and it tasted wonderful. Served over a garlic mashed cauliflower/potato combo with steamed green beans on the side.

I had one doubt after another while making this (too much pasta sauce? is the steak going to be over cooked?) but I stuck to the directions and it came out wonderfully. I made this as celebration dish for my husband and I think he loved it more than I did. (Mission accomplished!) Thanks for the dish!

This recipe sounds good, but the name is totally wrong. Marinara denotes that the recipe is based on having fresh SEAFOOD in the dish or sauce. I think this should be re-named Sirloin Napolitana, as the sauce is typical of a Pasta Napolitana dish.

Honestly I wasn't very impressed with this...Probably won't make it again. I used a good quality sauce but it still needed alot more flavor.

Great recipe, definitely a keeper! Watch cooking time though; I used thin slices and I like med rare steak so I cut the sauteeing and simmering time by about half. Thanks Lanelle for a simple and delicious recipe!

My boyfriend liked this a lot, though, I added some fresh basil, oregano, and garlic. It's excellent over mostaccio noodles.

This was great! And easy to make! I cut the meat into bite sized pieces and added some cut up asparagus. Served it over pasta with parmesan cheese and cheesy garlic bread.

This wasn't bad, just nothing to write home about. Everyone thought it would be best over noodles.

Made this in a big hurry one night. The wife and I were truly surprised at how good it was! We didn't use store bought pasta sauce though ...rather made our own batch using tomato sauce and spices. Will definitely make this again!

This is awesome when served on top garlic mashed potatoes; I wouldn't have it any other way! I've never had this turn out tasting like spaghetti sauce, and always use Ragu Chunky with Mushrooms. Sometimes I add mushrooms too, after the onions start to caramelize. If you find this tasting like spaghetti sauce, as some reviewers have experienced, try adding in a beef bullion cube as it simmers... also stay away from basil-rich sauces!

I was very pleased with this recipe. I could not tell that I had made it with spaghetti sauce at all! It was very tangy and flavorful. I tried to use one of my better wines because I was using store bought sauce but I think it would have been good regardless. I too made garlic mashed potatoes and it was awesome. My husband devoured it. It was VERY simple and quick to make too. No doubt that this will be a frequent dinner at my house.

Pretty good - I had leftover steak so I used it instead of uncooked. Someone suggested caramelizing the onions so I did and that was yummy. I liked the red wine too - added some depth.
