- 1 lb ground beef or thinly sliced steak (ribeye or sirloin)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese (or a mix of provolone and mozzarella)

Instructions
- Cook the Pasta:
- Boil pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Beef:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef or sliced steak and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.

- In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil. Add sliced peppers, onions, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Make the Sauce:
- Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir in beef broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Add the Cheese:
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in shredded provolone and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Combine Everything:
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the cheese sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
