Ingredients
-
8 ounces whole wheat penne pasta
-
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
1 (1 pound) beef rib eye steak
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
1 teaspoon minced garlic
-
¼ cup chopped shallots
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
½ cup sun-dried tomato pesto
-
½ cup sliced black olives
-
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
-
1 teaspoon basil
-
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
-
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
-
3 tablespoons sunflower kernels
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. When cooked, drain, then toss with olive oil, and keep warm.
-
Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the rib-eye on both sides until rosy-pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes depending on thickness. Remove steak from skillet and cut into bite-size pieces. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet, and stir in the garlic and shallots. Cook 5 to 10 seconds until fragrant, then return the steak to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes or to desired doneness. Stir in the soy sauce, and cook a few seconds longer, allowing it to evaporate.
-
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sun-dried tomato pesto, olives, spinach, basil, parsley, feta cheese and sunflower kernels. Toss with the pasta in a large bowl and serve.
