Curried Beef over Bow Tie Pasta
- 8 ounces bow tie pasta
- 12 ounces steak, cooked and thin sliced
- 12 teaspoon curry powder
- 12 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- non-stick spray to grill the steak
- 1 12 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 12 snow peas
- 12 cup diced onion
- 3 scallions
- 1 cup chicken broth
- pasta water (if needed)
- 1 cup plain yogurt (no low fat)
- 1 teaspoon curry
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 14 cup cilantro
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- salt
- pepper
- Steak -- Mix the olive oil, curry powder, cumin and garlic and rub over both sides of the steak.
- Let it marinade, 30 minutes up to 8 hours.
- Skirt steak I don't let go over 4 hours, but flank steak you could marinade all day.
- Before you cook the steak, don't forget to take it out of the refrigerator to let it come to room temperature.
- Yogurt -- Mix the yogurt with the curry, cumin and red pepper and set to the side.
- Grill -- I like to use a grill pan or outdoor grill, but you can use whatever method you like best.
- I prefer to cook mine medium rare, but cook it to the "doneness" you like.
- Remove to a plate and cover with foil to let it rest 10 minutes before it is sliced.
- Pasta -- As the steaking is cooking, start the pasta.
- Cook the pasta according to package directions.
- Drain well, drizzle with just a bit of olive oil so it doesn't stick, cover and set off the heat to the side as you finish the sauce.
- Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.
- Vegetables -- As the pasta cooks, add the broth to a large sauce pan and add the cauliflower, and cook until tender but crisp, 4-5 minutes on medium to medium high heat (a light boil).
- Then add in the snow peas, onion, and cook another 2-3 minutes.
- Finish -- Add the vegetables and broth to the drained pasta, along with the shallots and mix well.
- Add the yogurt mix and cilantro.
- Check for any additional seasoning, salt, pepper or red pepper.
- If you like the sauce "wetter" or more "creamy" add a little of the reserved pasta water.
- Serve -- I like to top with the sliced steak but you can also toss it with the salad if you want - Your choice.
- I like family style.
- A nice fresh green or fruit salad is perfect.
- ENJOY!
