Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz pasta (penne, rigatoni, or fusilli)
- 1 lb thinly sliced steak (ribeye or sirloin)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk (whole milk preferred)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: chopped parsley or grated Parmesan
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers (if using) and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Steak: In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil. Season the steak slices with salt and pepper, then cook over high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
- Make the Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and beef broth, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded provolone and mozzarella until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine and Serve: In a large pot or skillet, combine the cooked pasta, sautéed vegetables, steak slices, and cheese sauce. Toss until evenly coated. Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley or grated Parmesan, if desired.
