Recipe: Rib Eye Steak with Truffled Gnocchi

We had a packet of gnocchi (which we got from here), and after giving it some thought, I decided to serve it with a nice rib eye steak. Gnocchi are thick dough dumplings made from potato and flour, with a soft and chewy texture. 

These gnocchi were easy to cook - just cook in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, or until the gnocchi floats to the top. I finished it off in the grill pan with some salted butter as well as white truffle butter and some corn and peas for texture and colour. They turned out really tasty and was a fantastic accompaniment to the steak. Would definitely buy this brand of gnocchi again in future!

Recipe by Baby Sumo
Preparation time: 1 minute
Cooking time: 8 minutes
Serves 2-3


Ingredients
2 x 300g rib eye steaks (1" thick)
Olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
Maldon salt or other sea salt

250g store-bought potato gnocchi

1. Clean the steak under running water and pat very dry with kitchen towel. Season both sides with pepper and rub with 1 teaspoon of oil each.

2. In a large grill pan over high heat, add 1 teaspoon oil and wait until the pan/oil is smoking hot. Place the steak in the pan, and start your timer. Every minute, flip the steak. Cook to desired doneness - a 350g 1 inch steak will take about 4 1/2 minutes for medium doneness.

3. Remove steak from pan and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Season the steaks generously with salt.

4. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Once boiling, add the gnocchi and cook for 2 minutes, or until the gnocchi float to the top and then lift out with a slotted spoon. Blanch the frozen vegetables for about 5-10 seconds.

5. In the same grill pan (from Step 3) over medium high heat, melt salted butter and then add the gnocchi. Saute for about 1 minute until the gnocchi are coated in butter, then add the corn and peas and then add a generous dollop of white truffle butter.

6. Serve steak with the gnocchi on the side.
