Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 lb sliced ribeye steak
Vegetables:
- 1 large green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Pasta and Dairy:
- 1 lb penne pasta
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Seasonings and Extras:
- 2 tsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup beef broth
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente, typically 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and ribeye steak, breaking meat into crumbles and cooking until browned and no pink remains, approximately 6-7 minutes.
- Incorporate sliced onions and diced green bell peppers into the meat mixture. Sauté the vegetables until they become tender and slightly caramelized, about 4-5 minutes.
- Introduce minced garlic to the skillet, stirring continuously to prevent burning. Cook for an additional 30-45 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, allowing the liquid to deglaze the pan and lift any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and fold in cream cheese, stirring until completely melted and incorporated into the meat mixture.
- Add heavy cream and shredded provolone cheese, stirring gently until the cheese creates a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed.
- Gently fold the cooked penne pasta into the cheesy meat sauce, ensuring every pasta piece is evenly coated.
- Remove from heat and let the pasta rest for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld together before serving hot.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality ribeye steak for the most authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor and tender meat texture.
- Drain excess fat after browning meat to prevent a greasy sauce and ensure a cleaner, more concentrated taste.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like adding provolone and white American cheese for extra depth and richness.
- Make the dish gluten-free by substituting regular penne with gluten-free pasta and ensuring all other ingredients are gluten-free certified.
