Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound of flank steak
- 8 ounces of rotini pasta
- 1/4 cup of honey
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1 cup of broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup of sliced bell peppers (any color)
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk until well blended. Place flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish, pour marinade over it, seal, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions (8-10 minutes). In the last 2 minutes, add broccoli florets and sliced bell peppers. Drain and set aside without rinsing.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade, allowing excess to drip off (reserve marinade). Sear steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
- In the same skillet, pour in the reserved marinade. Bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Slice rested steak against the grain into thin strips. In a large bowl, combine cooked rotini, blanched broccoli, and bell peppers. Pour thickened sauce over and toss to coat. Add sliced steak on top and gently toss again.
- Transfer to a serving platter or individual bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a more intense flavor, marinate the steak overnight.
- Customize vegetables based on preference; zucchini, snap peas, or carrots work well.
- For creaminess, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream before serving.
