How to make it
- Pat the beef dry and season well with salt, pepper, and a little of the spice mix.
- Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high and crisp the beef until deeply colored.
- Add the aromatics with the baby spinach and fresh basil; cook until fragrant and just tender.
- Build the basil pesto sauce in the pan and simmer until it clings to everything.
- Fold it back together, taste for salt, and finish with the fresh herbs.
- Serve hot over al dente pasta.
