Ingredients
    Straccetti
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 600 grams beef (use a lean cut such as rump)
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 8 leaves sage
  • 0.5 cups white wine
  • 0.5 cups vegetable stock (substitute for ½ teaspoon powder or ¼ stock cube)
  • 150 grams rocket (1 big handful)
  • Marinade
  • 1.5 teaspoon salt
  • Black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon flour (or however much is needed to coat the steak)
Instructions
    Preparation
  1. Beef

    Dry with a paper towel

    Slice into 3mm pieces, against the grain

    Add to a bowl along with salt, black pepper and baking soda

    Mix thoroughly

    Add flour and mix again until the entire surface of the beef is coated

    Move the beef to a colander and shake off all excess flour

  2. Garlic

    Lightly crush

    Can do using the back-end of a knife
  3. Sage

    Wash and dry

    Separate leaves from stems

  4. Rocket

    Wash and dry

    Set aside

  5. Cook
  6. Pre-heat

    Wash and dry

    Set aside

  7. Aromatics

    Add sage and garlic, stirring often until fragrant (about 30 seconds)

  8. Beef

    Add the beef in an even layer

    Let cook on one side until browned (about 1 minute)

    Flip and turn heat down to medium

    If you have cut your beef on the thicker side, you will want to keep the heat on high and brown it on both sides, else it won’t be cooked properly
  9. Sauce

    Add wine and stock

    Continuously stir the beef and let the wine and stock reduce until it coats the beef in a thick glaze

  10. Finish

    Turn off the heat

    Remove garlic

    Add the rocket and lightly mix until it begins to wilt

    Serve
