Balsamic Marinated Outside Round Steak

This marinade takes a tough chewy steak and turns it good & yummy. We have served it sliced and placed on top of a simple pasta for an inexpensive quick meal

Ingredients

For the Marinade:
¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
¾ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup honey (warmed)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 outside round marinating steak (approx 300-400g)
½ tablespoon olive oil
½ cup red onion (diced)
1 yellow pepper (diced)
1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes
1 cup thick and rich tomato sauce
2 cups cooked whole wheat bow-ties
¼ cup parmesan cheese

Directions

Combine all of the marinade ingredients together in a mixing bowl and stir until honey is dissolved. Transfer to a sealable bag along with the steaks and marinate in the fridge for about 6 hours or overnight.
Pre-heat oven or toaster oven to 325º F.
Pre-heat a large frying pan on medium heat. Remove steaks from marinade and allow excess to run off. Place steaks in pan and lightly brown on both sides.
Once browned place in the oven and cook for about 10 – 12 minutes.
Now pre-heat a large frying pan on medium heat and add oil, onion and peppers and sauté until onions begin to brown (3 – 4 minutes).
Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce and the cooked pasta and toss to combine.
Plate the pasta topping with slices of the cooked steak and serve with parmesan cheese.
