Ready in just 25 minutes with caramelized carrots and savory chunks of beef, this leftover steak pasta is drizzled with balsamic vinegar for easy, delicious, flavor.
Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add the avocado oil and garlic. Let the garlic sizzle a bit.
Add in the carrots and cook with the garlic for 3-5 minutes before adding in the water and a pinch of salt to help them steam.
Boil the water and cook pasta according to the package directions.
Once most of the water has burned off and the carrots are starting to cook through, drizzle on the maple syrup. Cook for another 5 minutes, turning up the heat slightly if needed and scraping/stirring the carrots.
Turn the heat to medium and add in the sundried tomatoes, steak, leeks, salt and pepper. Cooked for 5 more minutes stirring frequently.
Drizzle on the balsamic vinegar and cook another two minutes.
Portion the pasta into bowls and top it with the steak mixture. Whisk together the dressing ingredients and drizzle over top of each bowl.
Enjoy.

Notes
Candy the carrots as much as you like. I personally leave a bit of liquid in the pan, but you can candy them fully until a bit charred on the outside if you like.If you prefer a “saucier” type of dressing, add more water after you’ve candied the carrots and let it mix with the balsamic vinegar. Add an extra splash of oil will help here too and let everything stir together for a minute.When portioning, there will be more sauce at the bottom of the pan that you can pour over top of the pasta.
