Little Ribbons

ground Sirloin
chopped Parsley
Oatmeal
Salt
Pepper
Chili Powder
Ground Coriander
Olive Oil

Flour
Salt
Eggs

Lemon Juice
grated mild Cheddar Cheese

Mix the sirloin with one egg, a handful of oatmeal, spices, olive oil and chopped parsley. Form into small flat patties and sear on both sides, cooking through.

Add salt to flour. Make crater in flour in bowl and add egg. Stir egg in circular motions into the flour. Roll out on floured surface so that it is 1/4 inch thick. When dough is flat, roll up into a jelly roll type shape. Set water to boil. Make sure that the whole surface of the dough is floured so that it does not stick to itself. Cut slivers from one end. These should unroll into little ribbons. You may want to flour the ribbons as you unroll so they do not stick too much. Boil the ribbons for a few minutes until done. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper.

Chop patties, and toss with noodles, more olive oil if needed and grated mild cheddar and a little lemon juice.

This meal is a great late night meal to prepare. It takes a while to work up to but is well worth it. Especially with the fresh egg pasta, it is very satisfying and the parsley adds a nice leafy/grassy bite to the meat.
