Philly Steak One Pot (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 pound of thinly cut steak (ribeye or sirloin works great)
02 - 2 cups of penne pasta
03 - 2 tablespoons of olive oil
04 - 1 1/4 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Vegetables

05 - 1 medium onion, sliced
06 - 1 medium bell pepper, sliced into strips (1 cup)
07 - 8 ounces of mushrooms, sliced thin

→ Sauce

08 - 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
09 - 1/2 cup of heavy cream
10 - 2 cups of beef stock or broth
11 - 1 tablespoon of cornstarch

→ Seasonings

12 - 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
13 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
14 - 1 teaspoon of kosher salt

# Instructions:

01 - Warm up olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Toss in the mushrooms, bell peppers, and onion. Let them soften for about 5 minutes, stirring now and then.
02 - Slide in the steak slices with the vegetables, shaking on the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook just 2-3 minutes until browned slightly.
03 - In a bowl, mix beef broth, cream, Worcestershire, and cornstarch. Stir everything till it’s smooth, then pour it into the pan.
04 - Add the uncooked penne. Let it boil, lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Don’t forget to give it a stir once in a while.
05 - Blend in a scoop of mozzarella (about half a cup). Scatter the rest on top, pop the lid back on, and cook for 5 minutes till melted.

# Notes:

01 - Thin steak slices cook faster and taste better
02 - Swap penne for any short-shaped pasta you’ve got on hand
03 - Play with the sauce’s texture by tweaking cornstarch or broth amounts
