Ingredients
  

Pasta and Vegetables
  • 8 ounces pasta (penne or rotini) You can swap with whole grain for a healthier option
  • 1 pound flank steak (or sirloin) Feel free to substitute with chicken for a lighter version
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 each bell pepper, sliced Any color; red adds sweetness
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce and Cheese
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream Or half and half; can substitute with a non-dairy option
  • 1.5 cups provolone cheese, shredded Can use mozzarella for a milder flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish Optional, adds a fresh touch

Method
 

Cooking the Pasta
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
Cooking the Steak and Vegetables
  1. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add sliced flank steak, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook until browned for about 5-7 minutes. Remove the steak and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add sliced bell pepper and onion, and sauté until softened and lightly caramelized for about 5-6 minutes.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Making the Sauce
  1. Add beef broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream and return to a simmer; let the mixture thicken slightly for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the cooked pasta and flank steak, followed by the shredded provolone cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
  4. Adjust seasoning as needed and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For a healthier option, substitute heavy cream with Greek yogurt. You can also add vegetables like mushrooms or spinach for extra nutrition. Spice it up with jalapeños or cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
