Pasta Salad With Steak
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3 cups cooked small pasta shells
- 1 beef top sirloin steak (1 pound)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2/3 cup diced cucumber
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue or feta cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced ripe olives
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
- 1 jar (2 ounces) diced pimientos, drained
- Iceberg or romaine lettuce
- Combine the first eight ingredients; set half of the dressing aside. Place pasta in a bowl; add remaining dressing. Toss to coat; cover and refrigerate.
- Pierce steak with a fork. Combine rub ingredients; rub over steak. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. Grill steak, uncovered, over medium heat for 9-10 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135u0b0; medium, 140u0b0; medium-well, 145u0b0). Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add cucumber, cheese, olives, onion, parsley and pimientos to pasta; mix well. Spoon onto a lettuce-lined platter. Slice steak and arrange over salad. Serve with reserved dressing.
