Ingredients:
• 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
* 4 beef tenderloin tails
* 1 pound pre-made gnocchi
* 1 cup Swiss chard pesto (or whatever pesto you prefer!)
* coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions:
Rub the steaks with the olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.
Bring a cast iron skillet to a medium-high heat.
Sear the steaks on both sides until your preferred doneness. Mine is medium-rare, so it was about 10 minutes total. Remove from heat, cover and let rest for 5 -10 minutes.
In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float, 3 minutes. Drain and stir in the pesto until combined.
Serve steaks over a bed of pesto gnocchi and experience true living.
* If tenderloin tails aren’t your thing, go with any cut of meat you prefer. Or leave it off altogether for a simple vegetarian meal!
