Fillet Steak & Under Pressure Pasta
Difficulty: Medium
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes

500 g fillet steak, cut into four stripes
2 sprigs rosemary, leaves picked
1 teaspoon salt & black pepper
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
200 ml tomato puree
2 cloves of garlic, chunked
1 tablespoon pepper paste, optional
1 cup tomato juice, or use 200 ml tomato puree instead of juice
1 cup brown stock
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 L water, 2 cups
250 g dry pasta, any small cut would do good
For serving,
Parmesan or Bergama Tulum
Fresh thyme

• Take the rosemary leaves out from the stem and mix with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle a tablespoon olive oil and rub the fillet steaks with the mixture.
• Heat a stove top pressure cooker and add 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Place the fillet steaks and sear all sides for about 2-3 minutes.
• At the end of the searing, add the butter. Take out the steak and set aside to rest.
• Pour the tomato puree to the pan and scrap the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
• Add the garlic, red pepper paste, tomato juice, brown stock to the sauce.
• Season with sugar and salt.
• Pour the water and add the pasta.
• Close the lid and put on high pressure. When the lid is tight and pressure is enough to cook, place the pressure cooker on a smaller stove on low heat and cook for five minutes. If you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can use a regular pot to make the pasta, but it will take longer to cook. Believe me, pressure makes pasta soak the sauce easier and faster. Result becomes more and more delicious.
• Release the pressure by putting the pan under running cold water.
• Grate some parmesan cheese or Bergama tulum. Transfer the pasta to the serving plate.
• Place the fillet steaks on pasta and shave some more parmesan.
• Sprinkle some fresh thyme, it’s ready to enjoy!

Thank you, sister, for being my indispensable friend on the subway, on the bus, without sleeping at night. I'm currently studying prep and you're contributing to my English, you're a great person. I love you <3

  7. Şems ve Mevlana arasındaki münasabeti dile getirirken takındığınız tavır hiç hoşuma gitmedi Refika hanım. Yıllardır takip ederim, ilk defa size karşı içimden negatif bir şey koptu gitti. Yakıştıramadım

  8. I love you, your friends, the loving comraderie…….I think that many of us would relish having the bunch of you for friends…..

  9. I made tortellini in sauce in the pressure cooker tonight and it was delicious! It cooked while I was feeding the cats and folding laundry – not standing over a pot on the stove trying to make sure it wouldn't boil over. Thank you, Refika!

  10. Hats off to you. You are not only a great chef but a great speaker, touching our hearts. We love you🥰

  11. Thank you for another lovely recipe. Watching you is like been in your kitchen surrounded by friends and family. I am from East Africa (Kenya to be exact) I found what you said about bananas very interesting, one day, would you please include a green (unripe) banana recipe from your culture, in my country, we mostly either boil and mash it with maize and beans or stew it, or make banana crisps. I would love to see the humble banana elevated in other ways. Thank you and may you and your team be blessed for blessings us as well.

  12. I so adore turkish "rahat-lokum" (rahatluk, ratluk), or turkish delight.
    Why don't you show us once how to make rahat lokum in a turkish way? 🙂
