•5 cloves garlic, finely minced, divided
•1/4 cup red wine vinegar
•1 tsp Dijon mustard
•1/2 tsp cinnamon, ground
•1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
•1 lb lean eye round steak, cubed
•16 oz whole-wheat farfalle pasta
•Olive oil cooking spray
•1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
•1 28-oz jar or can no-salt-added crushed tomatoes
•1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
•1 tsp dried basil
•8 oz low-fat sour cream

Steps:

1.Prepare marinade: In a bowl, whisk together 3 cloves garlic, vinegar, Dijon, cinnamon and pepper. Pour marinade over steak cubes in another container, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (You can also leave steak to marinate overnight.) 2.Cook farfalle according to package directions. Drain and set aside. 3.Drain steak cubes and discard marinade. Heat a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over high heat for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-high, mist with cooking spray and sauté steak until browned on each side, about 4 minutes total. Remove steak from pan and set aside. 4.Mist same pan with cooking spray again, add onion and remaining 2 cloves garlic and sauté until brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and reduce heat to medium low. Add seasoning, basil and sour cream and combine. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, then mix in reserved steak and cook for 2 more minutes, until meat and sauce are completely warmed. 5.Serve 1 cup farfalle with 3/4 cup steak sauce. Garnish with an additional sprinkling of Italian seasoning, if desired.
