A well-made Philly cheesesteak might just be my favorite sandwich, but I have to be honest: worthy cheesesteak spots are few and far between (especially for a true, discerning consumer like myself). Instead of suffering through another takeout sandwich, I'm making this pasta with all of the same flavors I'm hungry for, but with an extra comforting twist. The best part? This cheesy skillet dinner comes together in one pan, so it's perfect for busy weeknights.
To create this cozy mashup, I first combined tender skirt steak (cooked and seasoned to perfection) with sautéed peppers, onions, mushrooms, and creamy provolone. The real one-pan magic happens when the pasta is simmered in beef broth and half-and-half, soaking up all those rich flavors. Once the cavatappi reaches al dente perfection, the dish is finished with melty provolone, turning it into the ultimate savory skillet dinner.
Pro tip: To get super-thinly sliced steak, place the steak in the freezer for about 10 minutes before slicing while you prep your other ingredients. This will make it easier to get razor-thin slices.
