Steak Pasta BBC
Ingredients:
– 8 oz pappardelle pasta
– 1 lb sirloin steak, thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Cook the pappardelle pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sirloin steak and season with salt and pepper. Sear the steak slices for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the minced garlic, chopped onion, and diced red bell pepper until fragrant and slightly softened, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices.
5. Return the seared steak slices to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices. Sprinkle dried oregano over the mixture and toss everything together to combine.
6. Pour in the reserved pasta water to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom for extra flavor. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
7. Add the cooked pappardelle pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the steak and vegetable mixture.
8. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
This Steak Pasta BBC recipe is a delightful twist on traditional pasta dishes, combining the best of both worlds with tender steak and hearty pasta.
