Description

In Italian, the verb “tagliare” means to cut—as in tagliare la carne, or carve the meat. Live up to the name of this dish as you slice into tender top sirloin steaks, once they’ve got a good pan-searing to lock in their juices. Sautéed cherry tomatoes and string beans (with plenty of garlic) are the perfect red and green accompaniment. A base of orzo luxuriating in a brown butter sauce tinged with white balsamic vinegar completes your ode to Italy.
