Method

  1. Boil the pasta. Meanwhile, heat the oil, add the shallots and gently fry until they are softened and lightly coloured. Remove from the frying pan with a slotted spoon.
  2. Increase the heat under the frying pan, season the steaks and fry on each side for 3-4 mins, depending on their thickness and how you like them cooked. Remove from the heat, transfer to a board and leave to rest for a few mins.
  3. Drain the pasta, return it to the pan with the shallots and Stilton, then heat gently until the cheese starts to melt. Take the pan off the heat. Slice the steak and add to the pan with the watercress. Toss everything together and serve.

    This was a tasty dish. I used up some left over roast beef which may have been a mistake. Although the beef was tender it didn't have that steak taste! I will make this again and will follow the recipe this time!

    Scrumptious, but I felt it could do with more cheese, but then I did use dolcelatte instead of stilton as I love it! I could not get any watercress so used a mixture of watercress, rocket and spinach.
