Ingredients
-
8 ounces whole wheat penne pasta
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
-
1 (1 pound) beef rib-eye steak
-
¼ cup chopped shallots
-
1 teaspoon minced garlic
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
-
½ cup sun-dried tomato pesto
-
½ cup sliced black olives
-
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
-
3 tablespoons sunflower kernels
-
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
-
1 teaspoon chopped basil
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, toss with olive oil, and keep warm.
-
Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add rib-eye; sear on both sides until rosy-pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes depending on thickness. Transfer steak to a cutting board; cut into bite-sized pieces.
-
Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet. Add shallots and garlic; cook until fragrant, 5 to 10 seconds. Return steak to the skillet; cook to desired doneness, about 5 minutes more. Stir in soy sauce; cook until evaporated, 3 to 5 seconds.
-
Off heat, stir in spinach, pesto, olives, feta cheese, sunflower kernels, parsley, and basil; transfer to a large bowl. Add pasta; toss and serve.
