Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound beef chuck or sirloin, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 cup beef broth
• 8 ounces penne pasta, uncooked
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the beef slices with salt and black pepper. Add the beef to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth, stir, and return the cooked beef slices to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 7

Once the sauce has thickened slightly, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss well to coat the pasta with the sauce.

Step 9

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and garnish with fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Tasty Italian Beef and Pasta!
