Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound beef chuck or sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup beef broth
- 8 ounces penne pasta, uncooked
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the beef slices with salt and black pepper. Add the beef to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine.
Pour in the beef broth, stir, and return the cooked beef slices to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss well to coat the pasta with the sauce.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tasty Italian Beef and Pasta!
