- 2 cups beef broth

- Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional Additions:

- ¼ cup heavy cream for a richer sauce
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Beef
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
- If using ribeye, thinly slice it and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. If using ground beef, break it up and cook until no longer pink.
- Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
- In the same skillet, add diced onions and sliced green bell peppers.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
- If using mushrooms, add them now and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Step 3: Cook the Pasta & Sauce
- Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet.
- Stir in the uncooked pasta and bring to a simmer.
- Cover and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Step 4: Add Cheese & Serve
- Lower the heat and stir in the cream cheese until smooth.
- Return the cooked beef to the pan and mix well.
- Sprinkle shredded provolone cheese on top, cover, and let it melt.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
