How to Make Beefy Pasta Salad

  1. Cook 1 pound pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions.
  2. During the last 2 minutes of pasta cooking time, add 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets.
  3. Drain pasta and broccoli; rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
  4. Preheat broiler.
  5. Season 1 pound beef steak (sirloin or ribeye recommended) generously with salt and pepper.
  6. Broil steak 4 inches from heat for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to ensure desired internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare).
  7. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain, on the diagonal.
  8. While steak rests, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Process until smooth.
  9. Transfer dressing to a large serving bowl.
  10. Add the sliced steak and any accumulated juices to the bowl and gently toss to coat.
  11. Add the cooked pasta, broccoli, 1 pint cherry tomatoes (halved), and 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion to the bowl.
  12. Toss gently to combine.
  13. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  14. The salad can be made ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.
