Ingredients

1 lb sirloin steak, thinly sliced

1 lb penne pasta

4 cups beef broth

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup buffalo sauce

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: red pepper flakes for extra heat, green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced sirloin steak and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Add Garlic and Seasoning: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  • Prepare the Sauce: Pour in beef broth, heavy cream, buffalo sauce, honey (or maple syrup), and soy sauce. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.

  • Cook the Pasta: Add uncooked penne pasta. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  • Add Cheese: Once the pasta is cooked and most liquid is absorbed, stir in shredded cheddar cheese and mix until melted and well coated.

  • Serve and Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with green onions and red pepper flakes, if desired.

Notes

  • You can swap penne with rigatoni, fusilli, or spaghetti.

  • For a different protein, use thinly sliced chicken breast or shredded rotisserie chicken.

  • Adjust the level of spiciness by modifying the amount of buffalo sauce or red pepper flakes.

  • To make it dairy-free, use coconut milk or a non-dairy cream alternative and omit cheese or use dairy-free cheese.
