Peppered beef carpaccio on rocket pasta

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

Ingredients

500 g free-range or mature thick-cut sirloin
6 T olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1–2 T balsamic vinegar
250 g orzo or rissoni
2 T lemon juice
30 g rocket, finely chopped, plus extra to garnish
2 small bright salad peppers
Pecorino Romano, a few shavings (optional)

Cooking Instructions

Trim any fat off the sirloin, then oil and season generously with pepper. Fry in 1–2 T olive oil until nicely browned. Remove from the pan and spoon over the balsamic vinegar.

Cook the pasta in boiling salted water. Drain well and mix with the lemon juice, the remaining olive oil and the chopped rocket. Season lightly and turn into a wide shallow bowl or platter.

Slice the warm steak thinly. Bash the slices between sheets of baking paper to make it even thinner. Spoon the steak, with all the juices, over the pasta. Season with salt. Add the thinly sliced peppers and shavings of Pecorino, if you like.

Check the seasoning, garnish with rocket and drizzle over a little extra olive oil.
