Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix the chile powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; rub on the steak.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, then add the steak; sear 3 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until a meat thermometer inserted sideways into the steak registers 135 degrees F for medium rare, 15 to 20 minutes.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, 5 minutes.
Add the collard greens and 1/2 cup water and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, 10 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.
Whisk the ketchup, the remaining 3 tablespoons vinegar, the honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and 1/2 cup water in a bowl. Return the cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat; add the ketchup mixture and cook until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain.
Serve with the sauce and collard greens.

Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Steak can be paired with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. One wine you could try is Matanzas Creek Alexander Valley Merlot. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 28 dollars.

Matanzas Creek Alexander Valley Merlot
A medium purple color. Flavors of satsuma plum, dark chocolate covered raspberries, and allspice aromas primarily. On the palate, this is a classic Merlot with good concentration. It is savory and medium bodied with velvety tannins. Homemade cherry pie tart and sandal wood aromas are perceived easily when tasting.
