Ingredients

  • 170g Sirloin Steak
  • 130g gnocchi
  • 80g cherry tomatoes
  • 80g spinach
  • 25g pesto
  • 10g parmesan
  • 3g garlic
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the cherry tomatoes and spinach, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Pan-fry the gnocchi in a non-stick pan for 6-8 minutes until golden and crisp.

  3. 3

    Bring the steak to room temperature, season, and sear in a smoking-hot pan for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.

  4. 4

    Stir the pesto through the hot carbs with a splash of cooking water so it turns glossy, then top with grated parmesan.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the cherry tomatoes and spinach for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: gnocchi first, then the veg and sirloin steak, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.
