Ingredients You'll Need
8 ounces whole wheat penne pasta
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons 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 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.
