Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, this recipe offers minimal cleanup with maximum flavor and satisfaction.
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
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.
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.
