Philly Cheesesteak Pasta Bake (Print Version)

Savory steak, peppers, onions, and pasta baked with gooey provolone and mozzarella for a comforting meal.

# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
02 - 10 oz penne or rigatoni pasta

→ Vegetables and Aromatics

03 - 1 green bell pepper, sliced
04 - 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
05 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Liquids and Condiments

06 - 1 cup beef broth
07 - 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

→ Cheese and Fats

08 - 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
09 - 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
10 - 2 tbsp olive oil

→ Seasonings

11 - Salt and pepper, to taste

# Steps:

01 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak slices for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until browned but not overcooked. Transfer steak to a plate and set aside.
02 - Add remaining olive oil to skillet. Sauté green bell pepper and yellow onion for 5 to 7 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute until fragrant.
03 - Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to build flavor.
04 - Cook penne or rigatoni in a large pot of salted water following package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
05 - Add drained pasta to the skillet with vegetables and broth. Return steak and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Reduce heat to low and toss gently to combine.
06 - Sprinkle shredded provolone and mozzarella cheeses over the mixture and stir until the cheeses melt into a creamy sauce. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
07 - Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired and serve immediately while hot.

# Notes:

01 - For convenience or a lower fat alternative, substitute ribeye with sirloin or shaved beef. Use gluten-free pasta and condiments for a gluten-free adaptation. For a vegetarian option, replace steak with sliced portobello mushrooms and substitute vegetable broth for beef broth.
