8-10 oz (300 g) boneless sirloin beef (rump) steak, cut into bite size chunks
1 beef bouillon cube, crumbled
2 cups hot water
8 oz (225 g) cold leftover cooked pasta, such as penne, farfalle, or fusilli
handful of grated Parmesan cheese
handful of flat leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Heat the oil in a large frying over low heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt, and cook gently for 5 minutes or until soft. Stir in the garlic, and cook for a few seconds more. Now add the beef and cook over high heat for a few minutes until browned all over.
Sprinkle with the bouillon cube, pour in the water, and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Reduce the heat slightly, and leave to simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the pasta, taste, and season well with salt and ground pepper. Cook 3-5 minutes, or until the pasta is heated through. Serve hot, with Parmesan cheese and parsley sprinkled over the top.
