Recipe Instructions:
-
Slice the boneless beef top sirloin steak into very thin strips, ensuring they are of uniform thickness for even cooking.
-
In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until it shimmers slightly, indicating it’s ready for cooking.
-
Add the sliced beef to the skillet, allowing it to cook until it browns nicely and the juices begin to evaporate. Stir the beef often to prevent it from sticking to the pan and ensure even cooking.
-
Once the beef is browned and most of the juices have evaporated, add the canned vegetable soup and water to the skillet, creating a flavorful base for your dish.
-
Mix in the packet of your favorite pasta combination, stirring well to ensure it’s evenly distributed throughout the skillet.
-
Heat the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer.
-
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the beef and vegetables to cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender and fully cooked through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
-
Once everything is cooked to perfection, remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit for a minute or two to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Serve your Easy Beef & Pasta hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy the heartiness and simplicity of this delicious meal!
Tips:
- For added convenience, you can use pre-sliced beef or leftover cooked beef instead of slicing a whole steak.
- Feel free to customize this recipe by adding your favorite vegetables or spices to the mix for extra flavor and nutrition.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can simmer the dish uncovered for a few extra minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it a great option for meal prep or quick lunches during the week. Just reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
With its minimal prep time and maximum flavor, this Easy Beef & Pasta recipe is sure to become a regular rotation in your meal planning repertoire. Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or just feeding yourself, this dish delivers on taste, convenience, and satisfaction with every bite. Enjoy!
