Main Ingredients- Skirt Steak 390g (Choose a good cut suitable for grilling)
- Store-bought Rosé Sauce 400g (Select your favorite brand)
- Onion 1/2 medium
- Olive Oil 1 Tbsp
- Salt 1/2 Tbsp (for boiling pasta)
- Black Pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. This is for cooking the pasta. While the water heats up, you can prepare the other ingredients to save time.
Step 2
Once the water is boiling vigorously, add your pasta. To ensure the pasta doesn’t stick and has a pleasant texture, add 1 Tbsp of olive oil and 1/2 Tbsp of salt to the boiling water. Cook the pasta according to package directions, but aim for ‘al dente’ – about 1-2 minutes less than the suggested time, as it will finish cooking in the sauce.
Step 3
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Pat the skirt steak dry with paper towels and cut it into bite-sized pieces. For now, lightly season the steak’s exterior with salt and pepper; we’ll adjust seasoning later.
Step 4
Heat a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp of olive oil and carefully place the skirt steak pieces in the hot pan. Ensure the pan is well-heated to prevent sticking.
Step 5
When the pasta is cooked to al dente, drain it thoroughly using a colander. It’s a good idea to reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water. This starchy water can be used later to adjust the sauce’s consistency.
Step 6
Sear the skirt steak pieces in the hot pan, turning them occasionally, until they are nicely browned on all sides. Aim for a slightly crispy exterior while keeping the inside juicy, similar to cooking a steak.
Step 7
If there’s excess oil in the pan after cooking the steak, carefully blot it away with paper towels. This helps to reduce greasiness and allows the flavors of the other ingredients to shine.
Step 8
Add the sliced onions to the same pan and sauté them until they become translucent and slightly softened. The natural sweetness of the onions will enhance the overall flavor of the sauce.
Step 9
Once the onions are tender, sprinkle in some black pepper. The peppery aroma will complement the richness of the steak and sauce beautifully.
Step 10
Pour the 400g of rosé sauce into the pan. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Step 11
Add the drained pasta to the pan with the rosé sauce. Get ready to combine everything.
Step 12
Gently toss the pasta with the sauce until every strand is evenly coated. If the sauce seems too thick, gradually add some of the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Let it simmer together for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 13
Serve the delicious Rosé Pasta immediately onto warm plates. For an extra touch, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese or chopped parsley. Enjoy your wonderfully prepared meal!
