By Maranda Engelbrecht

Easy
20 minutes
5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 250 g good quality tender steak
  • olive oil
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • For the winter pesto, pound or process

  • 50 g Italian parsley, torn
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • ¼ cup roasted pecans, broken
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup grated goat’s-milk or Italian pecorino
  • Italian pecorino
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 500 g gnocci, cooked, to serve

Method

Thinly slice the steak, discarding any fat. Quickly stir-fry, in batches if necessary, in a minimum of hot oil, until nicely browned but still pink and tender. Season to taste.
To serve, spoon the steak and any juices over servings of gnocchi. Top with a heap of pesto. Toss together at the table.
Variations: Try chicken or calamari strips if you don’t fancy beef.
