Best well-done steak ever and my favorite steak sauce-coffee rubbed rib eye with tomato sauce

This piece of rib eye is left from the birthdayS dinner. Since I already rubbed it with salt and coffee rub, I was so worried about it would be degraded. So I asked Jaden from steamy kitchen
and she responded me in a short time, I was so surprised as well as encouraging. I got the instructions from Jaden! She told me it would be fine, then I got to be relieved and didn't cook it until 3 days later. But still nervous and a little unsure...

Yeah, it is different. I timed it in my usual way to make a medium one, but it turned out to be almost well-done( the picture is from the leftover, so one more cook). But my disappointment went away right after I had the first bite... It was soooo tender, even well-done, if I cut it thinner, it would be like deli rost beef :P I guess salt and rubs had contributed a lot, and it is easier to be cooked.
So next time, if I dry-marinade it overnight or for a couple of days, I am going to the skip the oven step, only use the cast iron pan. CAN'T WAIT~~

The tomato sauce is something I read long time ago from bon appetite, it is called pizza sauce for steak. It sounded interesting for me. So I just use the way to make tomato sauce but without meat: onion, mushroom, garlic, tomato sauce, sherry vinegar, basil, oregano, Ketchup , remeber to melt a little bit butter at the end.
It is very savoury and goes well with steak, and the part that makes me happy is unlike those butter sauce, mayo sauce, I can enjoy my steak without any guilty : DD
