Steak with Rocket & Asparagus Pasta Salad

This is a nice quick meal, perfect for after work. You can add anything you like to pasta salad and I try so many different flavours. Here I put in peppery rocket with blanched asparagus, pine nuts and a caesar dressing. Simplicity in itself. And a delicious pan fried steak simply seasoned with salt and pepper. It tastes so good sometimes just let the flavours speak for themselves.

Ingredients:

2 fillet steaks (or sirloin if you prefer)
200g pasta
100g asparagus tips
70g fresh rocket
1/2 red pepper, diced
30g pine nuts
70ml caesar salad dressing

Cook the pasta in boiling water until al dente, about 15 minutes. Drain and put into a bowl with the red pepper. Cut the asparagus into 1 inch lengths and steam for 2 minutes. Refresh under cold water to keep its colour bright and fresh. Add to the pasta. Add the rocket & pine nuts and stir through. Then dress the salad with the caesar dressing. Season if needed with salt & pepper.

Lightly brush the steaks with a little oil and season with salt & pepper. Pan fry to your liking and slice. Place over the pasta as serve!
