Dad's pasta salad

Cook pasta in boiling salted water until tender. Drain and set aside.

To make aioli, combine ingredients in a medium bowl.

Place steaks into a large snap-lock bag with garlic, rind, oregano and half of the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Using a meat mallet, bash steaks in bag until flattened slightly. Set aside.

Brush mushrooms and bread in a little of the remaining oil and cook on a heated oiled grill pan or barbecue pan for 5 minutes or until mushrooms have softened and bread is crispy. Remove set aside.

Cook steaks and bacon in same pan for 5 minutes on each side or until cooked as desired. Stand steaks for 5 minutes to rest, thinly sliced.

To serve, toss warm pasta, steak, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, onion, basil and bread onto serving plates. Top with bacon. Drizzle with aioli.
