Ingredients

• For the Beef Tagliata:
  • 1 beef rib-eye steak (600 g)
  • 2 handfuls of arugula
  • About 20 parmesan shavings
  • 3 sage leaves
  • 6 to 8 sun-dried tomatoes (optional, homemade recipe available)

Instructions

1. Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
2. In a dish, combine 4 tablespoons of olive oil, a large pinch of salt, and black pepper. Place the steak to “marinate”.
3. After 15 minutes, turn the steak over.
4. Bring water to a boil for the pasta.
5. In a pan, melt the butter over low heat and add the sage leaves.
6. Once the butter begins to melt, turn off the heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
7. In a salad bowl, mix arugula, balsamic vinegar, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and pepper.
8. Slice the parmesan into shavings.
9. Grill the steak on a barbecue or in a grill pan for 2 minutes on each side, until it is rare to medium-rare.
10. Drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the sage butter. Turn the heat to low and mix well, adding some salt.
11. Slice the steak and place it on a plate. Arrange a nest of pasta beside it and add the salad on top of the meat along with some parmesan shavings.
12. Season with additional black pepper if desired.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. The quality of the beef and olive oil makes a significant difference in this dish, so choose high-quality ingredients.

Recipe Tips

For optimal results, let the steak rest after cooking for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute evenly across the meat.
