Philly Cheesesteak Pasta
Ingredients:
- 8 oz (225g) pasta (penne or fettuccine work well)
- 1 lb (450g) thinly sliced beef steak (ribeye or flank steak)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Cook the Pasta:
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Steak:
- Season the steak with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the steak and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed.
- Sauté the onion and bell peppers for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Make the Sauce:
- Return the steak to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce.
- Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, until it begins to thicken. If you want a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a little cold water to make a slurry and stir it into the sauce.
- Combine Pasta and Cheese:
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine.
- Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese over the pasta and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Serve:
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional cheese if desired.
