Meat & Protein
- 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
Vegetables
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Liquids & Sauces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Pasta & Cheese
- 8 oz penne pasta
- 1½ cups provolone cheese, shredded
Seasonings & Garnish
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside for later use.
- Cook the Steak: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until it is browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Make the Sauce: Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the mixture simmer for 3 to 4 minutes to reduce slightly and develop flavor.
- Add Cream & Combine: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Pasta & Steak: Add the cooked pasta and steak back into the skillet. Stir everything together carefully so all ingredients are well coated with the creamy sauce.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese over the pasta mixture, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Serve: Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve the pasta warm.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing the vegetables.
- Use ribeye for a richer flavor, but sirloin works well as a leaner substitute.
- If you prefer a lower-fat version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a light cream alternative.
- Make sure not to overcook the pasta to maintain a perfect al dente texture.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove or in the microwave.
