Steak Tagliata with Crispy Fried Gnocchi
This is a very recent find for us, so quick and easy to make with ultimate flavour! Perfect for a summer evening.
Quickly seared steak is served with crispy, buttery gnocchi, rocket and tomatoes and then drizzled with a balsamic dressing.
Note: this recipe calls for rump or sirloin steak but this works perfectly with Cote de Boeuf or T-Bone, you can read how to cook these steaks using reverse sear method.
Serves: 4 people
Ingredients:
- 2 x 200g rump or sirloin steaks
- 7 tbsp olive oil
- Knob of butter
- 300g pack of fresh gnocchi
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- The juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tbsp each of chopped fresh tarragon and parsley
- Pack of rocket salad
- 4-6 tomatoes (mixed heritage ones if you can find them)
- Fresh basil, parmesan shavings and black pepper, to serve
Method:
- Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot. Brush the steaks with olive oil, then season. Griddle for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium – or to your liking. Leave to rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil and a knob of butter in a frying pan, then fry the pack of fresh gnocchi for 5-6 minutes until golden and heated through. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Meanwhile, mix the remaining 5 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice and fresh tarragon and parsley. Lightly season.
- Arrange the rocket salad over a platter with the tomatoes (mixed heritage ones if you can find them), cut into wedges, then scatter over the crispy fried gnocchi and steak, drizzle with the herby balsamic dressing and serve scattered with fresh basil, parmesan shavings and black pepper.
