Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz fettuccine
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb boneless beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
- 2 tbsp parsley, fresh, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and season with salt and black pepper. Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the red, yellow, and green bell peppers, and sauté for 5-6 minutes until tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the peppers and stir to combine.
In another small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the skillet, stirring constantly, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Reduce the heat to low and return the cooked beef to the skillet. Toss to coat the beef and peppers in the sauce. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, along with a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce. Toss well to combine all ingredients.
Serve the fettuccine warm, garnished with grated parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
