Ingredients

For the pasta dish:

1 lb steak (flank, sirloin, or ribeye), thinly sliced

1 lb pasta (penne or rotini recommended)

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 red onion, sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the spicy honey sauce:

1/4 cup honey

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sriracha, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

  • Sear the Steak: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3–5 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

  • Cook the Veggies: In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil, bell peppers, and onion. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

  • Add Pasta: Pour in pasta and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked and liquid is mostly absorbed.

  • Combine Everything: Return steak to the skillet. Pour in sauce and toss to combine. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until everything is heated through.

  • Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Adjust spice level by reducing sriracha and red pepper flakes.

  • Substitute steak with chicken, shrimp, or tofu for variety.

  • Add extra veggies like broccoli or zucchini for more nutrition.

  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free pasta and tamari instead of soy sauce.

  • Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of broth.
