Ingredients
  

For the Pasta

  • 1 medium onion yellow or white is perfect for sweetness
  • 3 cloves garlic fresh garlic boosts aroma and flavor
For the Creamy Sauce

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and green bell pepper, sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute, stirring to prevent burning. The garlic should become fragrant.
  3. Incorporate 1 pound of thinly sliced flank or sirloin steak, season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for 3-4 minutes until browned.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of beef broth and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, stirring until it melts and combines smoothly with the broth and beef.
  6. Stir in 2 cups of cooked pasta and 1 cup of provolone cheese, mix thoroughly and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  7. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately while hot, garnished with herbs if desired.
