The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

ingredients
1 1/2 pound well-trimmed boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut 1 inch thick
10 ounces uncooked angel hair or linguine pasta
1/2 cup diced, drained, jarred roasted red peppers
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
fresh basil leaves
Roasted Red Pepper Pesto
3/4 cup drained, jarred roasted red peppers
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
4 cloves garlic
1/2 cup olive oil
salt and pepper
directions
Place all pesto ingredients except oil, salt and pepper in food processor, fitted with steel blade, or blender container. Cover; process until smooth. With motor running, slowly add oil through opening in cover. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
Place beef steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 17 to 21 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning once. Approx. 5 minutes before steak is done, brush each side with 1 tablespoon pesto.
Meanwhile cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
Carve steak crosswise and diagonally into thin slices. Combine pasta with remaining pesto; toss. Place pasta on platter; arrange beef around pasta.
Sprinkle diced red peppers and 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese over beef and pasta. Garnish with basil leaves, as desired. Serve immediately.
Tip: To broil, place steak on rack in broiler pan so surface of meat is 3 to 4 inches from heat. Broil 16 to 21 minutes, turning once; approx. 5 minutes before steak is done, brush each side with 1 tablespoon pesto.

I would gladly give this recipe 10 stars if I could. The red pepper pesto was incredible and really made the entire dish stand out from other pasta recipes.
