Description
This Philly Cheesesteak Pasta combines tender strips of steak, sautéed peppers and onions, and a creamy cheese sauce with hearty pasta for a comforting, one-skillet weeknight dinner inspired by the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich.
Ingredients
8 oz penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup beef broth
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook the penne pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the bell peppers and onion for 5–6 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
- Add Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle in the flour. Stir to coat vegetables and cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth and milk while stirring constantly. Cook for 3–4 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in provolone and Parmesan cheeses until smooth and creamy.
- Return the cooked steak and pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
- Serve immediately, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan.
Notes
Use flank steak or sirloin sliced thinly across the grain for the best texture.
Switch up cheeses for different flavor profiles—mozzarella, cheddar, or pepper jack all work well.
For a spicy version, add crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated with a splash of milk or broth.
This recipe does not freeze well due to the cheese sauce separating when thawed.
