INGREDIENTS:

300g (10 oz) penne pasta

450g (1 lb) ribeye steak or flank steak, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, sliced

1 bell pepper, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup beef broth

240ml (1 cup) heavy cream

1 1/2 cups provolone cheese, shredded (or a blend of provolone and mozzarella)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

DIRECTIONS:

Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.

While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for another 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Reduce the heat to low and return the cooked steak to the skillet. Stir in the shredded provolone cheese and Parmesan cheese, allowing the cheeses to melt and create a creamy sauce.

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Serve the Philly Cheesesteak Pasta hot, garnished with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of cheese, if desired.
