THAI-INSPIRED STEAK AND PASTA SALAD



Thai-Inspired Steak and Pasta Salad image

Such flavorful steak - every bite sings as you chew. Two things about the ingredients: 1) I use ground herbs and spices because I can't afford to keep the fresh stuff around. I posted "fresh stuff equivalents" just in case. 2) I like my noodles completely cooked, all the way through...ie I don't like al dente. So if YOU like al dente, be sure to adjust the cooking time of your noodles. I got the marinade from Food Network's "Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger"

Time 4h30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons lime juice, plus
2 tablespoons lime juice
6 tablespoons soy sauce
6 tablespoons oil
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 garlic clove
1/4 teaspoon ginger or 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger
1 dash curry powder
2 cups uncooked penne
1/4 lb green beans (optional)
2 beef eye round steaks
1/2 cup thinly slice onion
1/2 red pepper, thinly sliced
sesame seeds
1/2 cup feta cheese

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients of marinade, except for 2 Tbls of lime juice.
  • Pour 1/2 marinade over steak, then add reserved lime juice. Refrigerate other half of marinade for later. Steaks should sit for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Once steaks are ready, you can either grill them until they are slightly pink in the middle, or broil them. To broil: place on a broiler pan, broil 3 inches from heat 10 minutes or until desired degree of doneness, turning after 5 minutes.
  • While steak is broiling/grilling, bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add pasta, cook until halfway done, then add green beans (optional). Let pasta alone until it finishes cooking.
  • Let steak stand for a few minutes, then cut diagonally across grain into thin slices.
  • Combine onions, red pepper, and steak into a pan. Add the remaining marinade and sesame seeds and saute until steaks are sizzling and onions and peppers are done to your liking.
  • Serve steak and veggies over pasta, sprinkle with feta cheese.
  • We use whatever steak we have left for steak and eggs the next morning!
