Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 lb thinly sliced beef sirloin
- 1/2 lb shredded provolone cheese
- 1/4 lb cream cheese
Vegetables:
- 1 large green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Pasta and Seasonings:
- 1 lb penne pasta
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup beef broth
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by dicing green bell peppers, slicing onions, and mincing garlic. Thinly slice beef sirloin into bite-sized strips for quick and even cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions and bell peppers until they become soft and slightly caramelized, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the vegetable mixture and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
- Remove vegetables from the skillet and set aside. In the same pan, brown beef sirloin strips, cooking for 2-3 minutes until they develop a rich, golden exterior.
- Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and dried oregano over the beef while cooking. Pour worcestershire sauce and beef broth into the skillet to enhance the meat’s flavor profile.
- Cook penne pasta in a separate pot according to package instructions until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving a small amount of pasta water.
- Combine cooked pasta with sautéed vegetables and beef in the large skillet. Reduce heat to low.
- Fold in shredded provolone and cream cheese, stirring gently to create a creamy, cohesive sauce. If needed, add reserved pasta water to help melting.
- Continue stirring until cheese is completely melted and coats the pasta, vegetables, and beef evenly.
- Serve immediately, garnishing with additional black pepper or fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- Slice beef against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness and easier chewing, preventing tough meat texture.
- Use high-quality provolone cheese for authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor, enhancing the overall taste profile of the pasta dish.
- Allow beef to rest briefly after cooking to retain natural juices, preventing dry meat and maintaining a succulent consistency.
- Substitute dairy-free cheese alternatives like nutritional yeast or vegan cream cheese for lactose-intolerant or plant-based diet preferences.
