This is a fabulous dish for summer. Doesn't take long to make and doesn't heat up the house. I got this recipe a year or two ago from Giada De Leurentis from the Food Network.
Ingredients:
Steak (strip is best, I use two)
1 tsp. Italian Seasoning
Garlic - I use powder
3/4 cut olive oil and 3 tbls.
1 pound penne pasta
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbls. dijon mustard
salt for pasta water and steak
1/2 tsp pepper for dressing and some for steak
basil - to your liking
parsley - to your liking
Directions:
Season steak(s) with salt, pepper, italian seasoning and garlic powder. In a skillet, heat 3 tbls. olive oil over medium heat. Cook steaks about 7 minutes per side(like six minutes per side). Remove the meat from pan and let is rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steak.
Cook pasta. Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, mustard, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, herbs and 3/4 cup olive oil. In a large bowl toss the pasta with half of the dressing and the reserved water. Add the steak, more dressing and season with salt pepper.
This super easy and delicious. Give it a try.
Picture to come soon. Having computer/camera issues.
