How to Make Beef Rotini Salad With Tomato Basil Dressing
- In a bowl, combine 1 lb beef sirloin, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tsp dried basil, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Marinate, covered, at room temperature for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator).
- Cook 1 lb rotini pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- While pasta cooks, prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, and 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Slice the cooked beef against the grain.
- In a large bowl, gently toss the warm rotini with the dressing.
- Add the sliced beef to the pasta and toss to combine.
- Sprinkle generously with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve warm or cold. Leftover roast beef can be substituted for the sirloin.
