Description

A hearty one-pot pasta loaded with tender steak, smoky BBQ flavor, and a touch of honey sweetness. Perfect for cozy weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, thinly sliced

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 cups smoky BBQ sauce

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 4 cups beef broth

  • 12 oz penne or rotini pasta

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sliced steak and sear 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.

  2. Add onions and garlic to the pot, cooking for 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

  3. Stir in BBQ sauce, honey, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour in beef broth and mix well.

  4. Add pasta to the pot, ensuring it’s submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.

  5. Return steak to the pot, then sprinkle in cheese. Stir until melted and creamy.

  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or chipotle peppers. Leftovers keep in the fridge up to 3 days—reheat with a splash of broth. Pairs perfectly with garlic bread or a crisp green salad.
