• Boil the kettle. • In a medium bowl, combine beef strips, Aussie spice blend, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of pepper. • In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook beef strips, tossing, in batches, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over high heat helps it stay tender.
• Return saucepan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook diced bacon and soffritto mix, breaking up bacon with a spoon, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic paste and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute.
• To saucepan, stir in diced tomatoes with garlic & onion, chicken-style stock powder, the boiling water and the brown sugar, until combined. • Bring to the boil, then add orecchiette and cover with a lid. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is 'al dente', 12-14 minutes. • Remove pan from heat and return cooked beef, then stir in baby spinach leaves and the butter, until wilted. Season to taste.
• Divide beef & bacon orecchiette between bowls. Top with shaved Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
