Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 8 ounces grilled steak, sliced

Pasta

  • 2 cups cooked pasta (such as rotini or penne), drained

Vegetables

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup vinaigrette dressing (balsamic or red wine vinaigrette recommended)

Instructions

  1. Slice the steak: Begin by slicing the grilled steak into thin, bite-sized strips to ensure it combines well with the pasta and tomatoes.
  2. Combine pasta and tomatoes: In a large bowl, add the cooked pasta and halved cherry tomatoes, gently mixing them together for an even distribution.
  3. Toss with dressing and steak: Pour the vinaigrette dressing over the pasta and tomatoes, then add the sliced steak. Toss everything together carefully until the dressing lightly coats all ingredients.

Notes

  • Use leftover grilled steak or cook fresh steak to your preferred doneness before slicing.
  • For extra flavor, add fresh herbs like basil or parsley to the salad.
  • You can substitute vinaigrette with homemade dressing using olive oil, vinegar, mustard, and seasoning.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature for best taste.
