Ingredients
  

Pasta Ingredients
  • 8 ounces pasta (penne, rigatoni, or shells)
Beef Ingredients
  • 1 pound beef steak, thinly sliced (ribeye, sirloin, or flank)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Vegetable Ingredients
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, sliced (green, red, or a mix)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce Ingredients
  • 1 cup beef broth Use long-simmered beef broth or a good-quality boxed broth.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For lower fat, swap half-and-half but sauce will be thinner.
  • 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded Reserve a little for topping.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cooking
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté until soft and slightly caramelized, about 6–8 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Push vegetables to one side of the skillet, increase heat slightly, and add thinly sliced steak in a single layer. Let it brown for a minute or two without stirring, then toss and cook until just browned. Avoid overcooking.
  3. Pour in beef broth and heavy cream. Scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2–3 minutes to slightly reduce and thicken.
  4. Turn heat to low and add cooked pasta and shredded provolone. Toss until cheese melts and sauce coats the pasta. If too thick, add a splash of broth or reserved pasta water.
  5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately with parsley sprinkled on top if desired.

Notes

Serve in shallow bowls for easy eating. For drink pairings, a light lager or medium-bodied red complements the beef and cheese well. Garlic bread or crusty rolls are great sides to soak up leftover sauce.
