Instructions
Cooking
- Heat olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak strips and sausage slices, searing for 5-7 minutes until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in beef broth, honey, soy sauce, sriracha, paprika, chili flakes, and black pepper. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add penne pasta to the skillet, ensuring it's well coated in the sauce. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes until pasta is tender and most liquid is absorbed.
- Return cooked steak and sausage to the pan, mixing again. Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
To enhance flavor, don't overcrowd the pan when searing. Consider marinating the steak in soy sauce and spices beforehand. For a creamier sauce, add a splash of heavy cream before serving.
