Preparation

Roast the garlic in the olive oil then mince the garlic and reserve the oil.
Brush both sides of steaks with the roasted garlic olive oil.
In a small bowl, combine ancho chili powder, sugar, and kosher salt. Dividing the seasoning mixture among the steaks, sprinkle seasoning on both sides of each steak.
Rub 1 teaspoon of roasted garlic on one side of each steak; spreading as evenly as possible.
Heat 2 tablespoons of roasted garlic olive oil in a large non-stick sauté pan over high heat until very hot or about 3 minutes.
Carefully place the steaks in the hot pan with the garlic side down.
For medium rare steaks cook for about 6 to 7 minutes on the first side, flip and continue cooking about 5 to 6 minutes.
Place cooked steaks on clean serving plates. Spoon the Romesco Sauce over the steak. Garnish with a cilantro sprig, orange slices and toasted pine nuts.

Romesco Sauce:

Preheat oven broiler.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in small skillet over medium-high heat.
Add ancho chiles; fry until darkened and slightly puffed, turning once about 30 seconds.
Transfer to small bowl. Add enough hot water to cover.
Let stand 30 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine grape tomatoes, onions and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Place mixture on a foil lined baking pan.
Place pan in broiler for about 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
Drain the chiles, and place chiles, tomatoes, onions and remaining ingredients in a food processor and purée.
Serve sauce over steaks at room temperature or cold.
