Equipment
- 12" deep cast-iron skillet or large dutch oven
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound Trader Joe's Shaved Beef Steak or thinly-sliced ribeye steak
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 cup bell pepper seeded, quartered & thinly sliced
- 1 small onion quartered & thinly sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups water
- ½ pound rotini pasta ** see the substitution section above for gluten-free & low-carb options
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened @ room temperature
- 4 ounces Cheez Whiz or ½ can Easy Cheese Optional BUT YUM!
- 4-8 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- If you want smaller pieces of meat in your skillet dinner, dice up the shaved steak. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a large cast-iron pan, or another oven-safe skillet. Over medium heat, add the shaved beef, and season with black pepper & garlic powder. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the beef, is cooked through.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce and stir to coat. Remove beef from the pan and set it aside. Do not clean the pan, leave the meat juices.
- Add butter to the skillet. Scrape up the bits from cooking the meat. Once melted add the peppers and onions. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, just until they are starting to soften.
- Add broth and water to the pan. Turn up the heat to bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and stir to combine. Turn the heat down to medium. You want the vegetables and pasta to simmer in the liquid. After about 12-15 minutes the pasta should be al dente and most of the liquid will be absorbed.
- Turn the heat to low. Add the shaved beef back into the skillet and stir. Next, add the softened cream cheese & easy cheese/cheez whiz. Stir to combine.
- Top with a layer of the sliced provolone and turn off the stove. Set the oven for a low broil. Using oven mitts, place the pan in the oven to broil and melt the cheese until bubbly - about 1 minute. This will melt fast so stay and watch it.Carefully remove the skillet from the broiler, the pan will be very hot!
- Let the skillet sit for a few minutes to set and the cheese cools so it doesn't burn your mouth. Serve and enjoy!
