Calories: 900kcal
Ingredients
- 500 g steak rump, sirloin or ribeye work well
- 400 g tagliatelle or penne
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 shallot finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 150 ml chicken stock
- 200 ml double cream swap for single cream or half-fat crème fraîche for a lighter version
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and black pepper
- Fresh parsley chopped (to serve)
- Parmesan grated (to serve)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in well-salted boiling water according to the packet instructions. Before you drain it, scoop out a mugful of the pasta water and set it aside, you may need it later.
- While the pasta is cooking, season your steaks well on both sides with salt and pepper. Get a large frying pan nice and hot with 1 tbsp of olive oil and cook the steaks to your liking, around 2–3 minutes each side will give you a lovely medium-rare. Put them on a board to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
- Turn the heat down to medium in the same pan, all those lovely juices left behind will add so much flavour to your sauce. Add the remaining olive oil and gently cook the onion for a few minutes until softened, then stir in the garlic for another minute.
- Add the chicken stock and let it bubble away until it has reduced by about half. Then stir in the cream and Dijon mustard and leave it to simmer gently for 3–4 minutes until you have a lovely thick, glossy sauce.
- Add the drained pasta straight into the sauce and toss everything together well. If it needs loosening up a little, add a splash of that reserved pasta water.
- Plate up, lay the sliced steak on top, or stir it in, and finish with a handful of fresh parsley and a generous grating of Parmesan.
