Place all the sauce ingredients into the blender, and mix gradually from low to high. Blend for about 30 seconds until creamy and no chunkiness remains. If the contents are too thick and the blade will not move, add 1/4 cup of water. Alternatively, if the sauce is too thin and watery add more pine nuts/tomatoes to thicken.
In the same skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add drained pasta and sauce. Toss until well coated.
Slice steak against the grain into bite-sized pieces. Fold into the pasta.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes and combine. Taste and season with salt/pepper.
