Ingredients:

* 1 lb. steak (such as sirloin or flank), cut into thin strips
* 233g pasta (penne or fusilli can be used)
* 1 tbsp. olive oil
* 1 medium onion, chopped
* 3 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 red bell pepper, chopped
* 1 (14 oz.) can diced tomatoes with their juice
* 2 cups beef broth
* 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
* 1 tsp. red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley (optional)

✨Preparation:

1. Grill the steak: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the steak slices, season with salt and pepper, and grill until browned. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside. 2. Sauté the vegetables: In the same pan, add more oil if needed. Sauté the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Add the liquid and pasta: Stir in the diced tomatoes along with their juice, beef stock, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer.

4. Cook the pasta: Add the pasta to the pan and stir well. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid (about 10-12 minutes).

5. Mix and serve: Return the steak to the pan to heat through. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and well combined. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

6. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
