We continue with another italian dish, although  this is not necessarily a summer one. It's very easy to make and of course very  tasty.
Straccetti con la Rucola
-1lb of beef steak, as thin as possible (the one we  used was called minute steak)
-3oz rucola (arugula)
-balsamic vinegar
-olive oil
-salt
-pepper
First of all, you should cut the steak (which needs  to be very thin) into small strips (this is where the name comes from:  "straccetti" literally means "little rags").
Heat up a little bit of olive oil and some balsamic  vinegar in a pan and when it's hot, dump the strips of steak in.
It should not take long to cook, only a couple of  minutes, while it cooks you can add some salt and pepper.
Once it's cooked, add the arugula and let it cook  for another minute until it wilts. The arugula will shrink a lot, so you can  probably use much more than 3oz, depending on your tastes.
VoilĂ , it's done!
You can serve it with a little more fresh arugula  on top and maybe another splash of balsamic vinegar.
 
Nice photos! And it sounds delicious. I'll certainly try this one soon.
