Ingredients Needed:

• 400-500g beef steak (fillet, sirloin, or rump)
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 fresh garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 3-4 sundried tomatoes, finely chopped (in oil or marinade)
• 1-2 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp lemon juice or 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• Fresh rocket/arugula, for serving

How To Make Tagliata Steak Recipe?

1. Cook the steak: Drizzle 400-500g / 14-18oz steak generously with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with salt. Heat a pan, skillet, or grill until very hot. Cook the steak for 3-5 minutes per side for rare to medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. Let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice thinly.
2. Make the dressing: Combine 3-4 chopped sundried tomatoes, 2 crushed garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice (or 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar), 1 tbsp soy sauce, and finely chopped 1-2 rosemary sprigs. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well or blend in a food processor for a smoother texture.
3. Assemble the dish: Arrange steak slices on a serving plate, drizzle with dressing, and top with 20g / ⅓ cup Parmesan shavings (optional) and 30g / 1 cup rocket/arugula. Serve immediately

Recipe Tips:

• Pick the best steak: Fillet, sirloin, or rump steak works best because they’re tender and easy to slice.
• Rest the steak: After cooking, wait 10 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
• Use high heat: A very hot pan or grill makes the steak crispy on the outside and full of flavor.
• Fresh dressing is key: Chop or mix the dressing just before eating to make it taste amazing.
• Cut the right way: Slice the steak thinly and against the grain so it’s soft and easy to chew.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the Tagliata Steak cool to room temperature. Place the steak slices in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper if needed, and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Allow the steak to cool completely, then wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw, transfer to the refrigerator overnight.
• Reheat: Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat, add a splash of olive oil, and warm the steak slices gently for 1-2 minutes on each side.
