- 100 g Spaghetti
- 220 g Beef sirloin
- 120 g Cherry tomatoes
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- 20 g Parmigiano-Reggiano (optional)
- 8 g Basil (optional)
Method
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt it.
- Take the sirloin out of the fridge and season it hard. Halve the tomatoes and slice the garlic.
- Sear the sirloin in the olive oil over the highest flame, three minutes a side for rare, then move it to a board to rest.
- Drop the heat, add the garlic to the beef fat for thirty seconds, then the tomatoes cut-side down for four minutes until they burst and pick up everything left in the pan.
- Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water until it still has a firm centre, about eight minutes, then drain it, saving a ladleful of the water.
- Toss the pasta through the tomato pan with a splash of the water, slice the rested beef thinly across the grain and lay it over with the board juices, then grate the parmesan and tear the basil on top.
