Ingredients
- 12 oz Sirloin steak
- 8 oz Penne pasta
- 4 cups Arugula
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 Green onions
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the marinade and dressing.
Step 2
Place the sirloin steak in a resealable plastic bag, pour half of the marinade over it, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours. Reserve the other half of the marinade to use as a dressing.
Step 3
Cook the penne pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, season both sides with salt and black pepper, and sear for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
Step 5
In a large salad bowl, combine the cooked penne pasta, arugula, and thinly sliced steak.
Step 6
Drizzle the reserved marinade over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Step 7
Thinly slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the top of the salad along with sesame seeds for garnish.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy this unique fusion of textures and flavors.
