- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup Mexican-style cheese
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro
- 1 pound NY strip steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 cups sliced red, green and yellow bell peppers
- 1 cup sliced onion
2 tablespoons Red Gold Roasted Garlic Tomato Paste 6 oz
- 1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Step one
Boil rotini noodles in salted water over medium heat for 7 minutes or until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water and drain the rest.
Step two
Season steak cubes with steak seasoning (salt, chipotle chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder). Drizzle with avocado oil and toss to coat.
Step three
Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 2 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step four
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Sauté the bell peppers, onions, Red Gold Roasted Garlic Tomato Paste, and fresh garlic. Cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step five
Pour in the heavy cream and add the pasta seasoning (salt, chipotle chili powder, black pepper, and garlic powder). Stir well, then add the reserved pasta water. Simmer for 7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Step six
Add the cooked pasta, Parmesan cheese, Mexican-style cheese, and cooked steak to the skillet. Stir until everything is evenly combined and heated through.
Step seven
Serve in pasta bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro and freshly grated Parmesan.
