Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 0.5 lb sliced ribeye steak
Vegetables:
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Pasta and Dairy:
- 12 oz penne pasta
- 2 cups provolone cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup cream cheese
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.25 cup beef broth
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a large baking dish for the pasta.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then sauté diced green bell peppers and sliced onions until they become soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the vegetable mixture and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Remove vegetables from the skillet and set aside, then in the same pan, brown ground beef and sliced ribeye steak, breaking the meat into small pieces.
- Season the meat with salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, cooking until fully browned and no pink remains.
- Cook penne pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and reserve.
- Combine cooked meat, sautéed vegetables, and pasta in the skillet, stirring to mix thoroughly.
- Pour beef broth into the mixture to enhance moisture and flavor.
- Fold in cream cheese and heavy cream, stirring until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish and top generously with shredded provolone cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and slightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set and flavors to meld.
Notes
- Slice meats uniformly for even cooking and better texture distribution throughout the pasta.
- Choose high-quality ribeye steak to elevate the authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor profile.
- Keep pasta slightly undercooked when boiling since it will continue cooking in the oven, preventing mushy texture.
- Customize protein options by substituting ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for lighter versions.
