Steak with Smoky Salsa

• • 1 can (14 ounces) salsa-style, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained

  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

In a blender, puree the tomatoes, cilantro, onion, red wine vinegar, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, cumin and cayenne pepper until smooth. Pour into a jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
