Pepper Steak Pasta Delight
Instructions
1. Prepare the Steak
- Marinate the sliced steak in soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak strips until browned on both sides, about 2–3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Cook the Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving ½ cup of pasta water.
3. Prepare the Sauce
- In the same skillet used for the steak, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
- Sauté the onions and bell peppers until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Let the mixture simmer for 3–4 minutes.
- For a creamy version, stir in heavy cream. If a thicker sauce is desired, add the cornstarch slurry and simmer until the sauce thickens.
4. Combine and Serve
- Add the cooked steak back into the skillet along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together until evenly coated in the sauce. Use reserved pasta water to adjust the consistency, if needed.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Garnish and Enjoy
- Serve the Pepper Steak Pasta Delight on plates or in bowls.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
