Tri Tip Pasta Salad
Super easy
Cheap

This recipe is salt-free. We recommend using tri-tip, but sirloin or flank steak works great, too.

1h

Ingredients

For 4 Serving(s)

Ingredients

2 cups uncooked penne or mostaccioli (tube-shaped pasta)
1/4 lb green beans, trimmed
1 3/4 lb boneless sirloin steak, trimmed
1 tbsp salt-free garlic-pepper blend (such as Spice Hunter)
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced red onion
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp extravirgin olive oil
1 tsp bottled minced garlic
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled blue cheese

Tri Tip Pasta Salad Directions

  1. Preheat broiler.
  2. While the broiler preheats, bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a large Dutch oven.
  3. Add pasta; cook 5 1/2 minutes.
  4. Add beans, and cook 3 minutes or until pasta is done.
  5. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drain well.
  6. Sprinkle steak with the garlic-pepper blend.
  7. Place on a broiler pan; broil 3 inches from heat 10 minutes or until desired degree of doneness, turning after 5 minutes.
  8. Let stand 5 minutes so juices will flow back into meat as it cools.
  9. Cut steak diagonally across grain into thin slices.
  10. Combine onion and next 8 ingredients (onion through black pepper) in a large bowl. Add pasta mixture and beef slices; toss well to coat.
  11. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.
