Ingredients

  • 100 g 4x lean beef steaks
  • black pepper
  • 300 g wholemeal spaghetti

Pesto

  • cup flaked almonds
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

  • 3 cups cherry toma
  • 6 cups rocket

Instructions

  • Season steaks with ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Set to one side and allow to come to room temperature.
  • In a pot of boiling water, cook spaghetti until al dente. Drain, reserving 5 tablespoons of pasta water for the pesto.
  • Meanwhile, place pesto ingredients in a blender and blitz until smooth, adding reserved pasta water. Add to pasta and toss to coat evenly. Add tomatoes and rocket. Season and toss once more.
  • Set a griddle or non-stick pan over a high heat. Add steaks and cook for 1-2 minutes either side, or until your liking. Remove from pan and rest.

Although I’m not a qualified chef I do like to pretend I’m on Master Chef. I source the recipes from the stated source (not sauce) and make them taking the photo of the meal I produce for myself.
