Seared flank steak is sliced up and stirred into penne pasta with Alfredo sauce and diced tomatoes. Ample fresh basil and Parmesan cheese finish it off! I have also made this with grilled chicken instead of steak.
Ready in: 1 hour

Ingredients

Serves: 6

• 1 pound flank steak
• salt and pepper to taste
• granulated garlic to taste
• granulated onion to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 
  
• 1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
• 
  
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 large onion, diced
• 
  
• 1 cup white wine
• 2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
• 1 (15 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce (I prefer Newman’s Own(R))
• 1 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
• 1 sprig fresh basil for garnish

Preparation method

Prep: 30 mins | Cook: 30 mins

1. Season the flank steak with salt and pepper, garlic and onion powders. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over high heat until shimmering. Sear the steak in the hot pan until nicely browned on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the penne until al dente. Drain, and set aside.
3. While the penne is cooking, heat the remaining olive oil in a separate pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook the garlic and onion in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Pour in the white wine, and increase heat to high. Boil the wine for 2 minutes, then add the canned tomatoes and Alfredo sauce.
4. Once the sauce begins to simmer, reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Slice the flank steak into bite-size strips across the grain. Stir the steak and pasta into the sauce, then stir in the chopped basil and cheeses. Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil to serve.
