Level of difficulty : Low
Ingredients
2 servings
- a beef steak about 450 gr (1 lb)
- 2 - 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, sliced
- pinch of crushed red pepper, optional
- a bunch of arugula (Rocket) salad (approximately 400 gr (1/2 lb)
- salt
Preparation
- Trim away the fat from the meat as much as possible. Slice the meat diagonally very thinly, to obtain small meat tatters.
- Put olive oil, garlic and red pepper in a skillet. Turn heat to medium.
- When the oil is hot, but before the garlic starts coloring, add the meat.
- Mix thoroughly turning the meat pieces over several times, until uniformly browned. Don't overcook the meat, otherwise it will toughen.
- Add the arugula (rocket) leaves and mix it with the meat. The vegetable will look like a large quantity, but it will reduce very fast as soon as it will feel the heat of the pan. Add salt
- The vegetable will loose some liquid in the pan. Cook briefly on medium heat to evaporate the liquid. Serve hot.
