# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Heat 1 tablespoon (5 ml) neutral oil in a large stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the thinly sliced steak with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Arrange steak in a single layer and cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until browned on one side. Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes more until no pink remains. Transfer steak to a large bowl.
02 -
Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, cook mushrooms occasionally stirring for 8–10 minutes until they begin to brown. Season lightly with salt. Transfer mushrooms to the bowl with steak.
03 -
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon (5 ml) oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onion and bell peppers, season with salt, and cook while stirring frequently for 8–10 minutes until softened. Add chopped garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant. Transfer mixture to the bowl with steak and mushrooms.
04 -
Increase heat to medium-high. Pour in beef broth, scraping any browned bits from the pan. Stir in half-and-half and bring to a simmer. Add cavatappi pasta in a single layer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and sauce thickens, about 10–12 minutes.
05 -
Stir in shredded provolone until fully melted. Return the steak and vegetable mixture to the skillet. Toss gently to combine and coat evenly with the sauce.
