Make It Beef Club


PINT SIZE SIRLOIN PASTA

This is a nice change from spaghetti but if you like, you can pan-fry 1 lb (500 g) Lean or Extra Lean Ground Sirloin or ground beef instead of cooking and dicing the steak.

1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, diced
  Salt and pepper
1 lb (500 g) Beef Top Sirloin Grilling Steak, diced
1 jar (700 mL) tomato basil pasta sauce
5 cups (1.25 L) penne pasta
⅓ cup (75 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
  1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat; pan-fry onion, garlic and carrots and salt and pepper to taste, stirring until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add diced beef; stir-fry until slightly browned, about 4 minutes.
  2. Add tomato sauce; simmer, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender, about 8 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until pasta is tender but firm, about 10 minutes. Drain and divide among serving bowls. Top with sauce and Parmesan cheese.
