Looking for a quick and flavorful dinner? This one-pot zesty steak pasta is bursting with taste and easy to whip up! 🍝🥩✨

Ingredients:
- 1 lb steak (such as sirloin or flank), thinly sliced
- 8 oz pasta (penne or fusilli work well)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes with juice
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions:
Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Toss in the sliced steak and season it with salt and pepper. Sear the steak until it's nicely browned, then take it out of the pot and set it aside.

In the same pot (there's no need to wash it), add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and red bell pepper until the onion turns translucent, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Next, stir in the canned diced tomatoes along with their juice, the beef broth, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Bring this delicious mixture to a gentle simmer.

Now, it’s pasta time! Add the pasta to the pot and give it a good stir. Cover the pot and let it cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and has absorbed most of the liquid—this should take around 10-12 minutes. Once that’s done, return the steak to the pot just to warm it through.

Lastly, sprinkle in the grated parmesan cheese and stir until it's melted and everything is combined beautifully. Don’t forget to taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. To finish, top it off with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor before serving. Enjoy your zesty creation!
