For a vegetarian option, substitute the steak with grilled halloumi cheese or chickpeas. Feel free to adjust the amount of feta cheese and pesto to your liking. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors even further. For extra flavor, marinate the steak for 30 minutes prior to cooking, use olive oil, garlic, and herbs.

01 Step
Recipe View Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain well, toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to prevent sticking, and set aside to keep warm.
02 Step
Recipe View Sear the Steak: While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rib eye steak and sear on both sides until nicely browned and cooked to your desired doneness (approximately 7-10 minutes for medium-rare, depending on the thickness). Transfer the steak to a cutting board to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
03 Step
Recipe View Sauté Aromatics and Finish Steak: In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the chopped shallots and minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 5-10 seconds). Slice the rested steak into bite-sized pieces and return it to the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce and cook until it has mostly evaporated (just a few seconds, 3-5 seconds).
04 Step
Recipe View Combine and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the fresh spinach, sun-dried tomato pesto, sliced black olives, crumbled feta cheese, sunflower kernels, chopped parsley, and basil. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the cooked pasta and toss everything together until well combined. Serve immediately for the best flavor.

Aug 17, 2024I'm not a big fan of feta cheese, so I substituted it with goat cheese, and it was delicious! I also used gluten-free pasta to make it gluten-free friendly.
