Ingredients

250 g small pasta shapes of your choice

500 g broccoli florets

300 g well-trimmed sirloin steak

1¼ cups (325 g) low-fat plain yoghurt

3 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

¾ cup basil leaves

½ teaspoon salt

500 g roma tomatoes, quartered

1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced

1.		Cook pasta in a large saucepan of lightly salted boiling water until al dente, following packet instructions. Add the broccoli florets during the last 2 minutes of cooking; drain.

2.		Preheat grill. Grill steak 10 cm from the heat for 4 minutes per side for medium, or until done to taste. Place on a cutting board; slice thinly across the grain, on the diagonal.

3.		For the dressing, combine yoghurt, mayonnaise, vinegar, basil and salt in a food processor; process until smooth. Pour dressing into a large serving bowl.

4.		Add the steak and any juices that have accumulated on the cutting board; toss to coat. Add pasta, broccoli, tomato and onion to bowl and toss again. (Recipe can be made ahead and refrigerated. Bring back to room temperature before serving.)
