Best 3 Not Quite Philly Cheesesteak Skillet Pasta Recipes

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK PASTA

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a deep, 12-inch nonstick skillet over MEDIUM heat until shimmering. Add the ground beef and ½ teaspoon salt and cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until crumbled and browned. Drain off as much of the excess grease as possible and transfer the cooked beef to a plate and set aside.
• Return the skillet to the heat and add the remaining oil, the onion and ¼ teaspoon of the salt, and sauté, stirring frequently, until softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes until bell peppers and mushrooms begin to soften and garlic is fragrant. Add the cooked ground beef back to the skillet along with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, Italian seasoning, and garlic pepper. Cook, stirring, for a minute or two.
• Stir the uncooked pasta into the beef and pepper mixture. Pour in the beef broth and increase the heat under the skillet as needed to bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to LOW, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
• Stir the pepper jack cheese into the pasta and place the provolone slices in a circle over the top. Cover and cook until the cheese has melted and serve.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Put the steak in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up for easier slicing.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
• Slice the steak as thinly as possible, discarding any large pieces of fat; set aside.
• Cook the pasta according to the package instructions for 1 minute less than al dente. Drain, then transfer to a large bowl; set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, add the beef in a single layer, season with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper and cook without stirring, until brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip the beef with tongs and brown the other side, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the pasta.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat and add the onions. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring often, until translucent and softened but not brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the pasta.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat and add the peppers. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring often, until softened but not brown, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Add the sour cream, beef broth, 3/4 cup of the sharp provolone, the diced mild provolone and 1 teaspoon salt to the pasta bowl and stir to combine. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and cover with the remaining mild provolone slices. Top with the bell peppers and pickled cherry peppers.
• Bake until the mixture is starting to bubble around the edges and the cheese is melted on top, about 30 minutes. Top with the remaining 3/4 cup sharp provolone and bake until heated through and the top is slightly golden, about 10 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving so the pasta can absorb some of the liquid and the cheese can set.
