📋 Ingredients (Serves 4)
🥩 For the Steak & Pasta:
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or flank), thinly sliced
- 8 oz pasta (penne or fusilli recommended)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Sear the Steak:
Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and sear for 2–3 minutes until browned.
Remove from the pot and set aside.
2️⃣ Sauté the Aromatics:
In the same pot, add more olive oil if needed.
Sauté onion, garlic, and red bell pepper for 3–4 minutes, until soft and fragrant.
3️⃣ Build the Sauce:
Stir in the diced tomatoes with juice, beef broth, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Bring to a simmer.
4️⃣ Cook the Pasta:
Add pasta directly into the sauce. Stir well to coat.
Cover and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.
5️⃣ Finish with Steak & Cheese:
Return the steak to the pot and stir to heat through.
Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
6️⃣ Garnish & Serve:
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot!
