PASTA AND STEAK RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions; keep warm.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until tender.
• Add remaining sauce ingredients.
• Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low.
• Simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Place beef steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals.
• Grill steaks, uncovered, 13 to 15 minutes (15 to 18 minutes for top loin steaks) for medium rare to medium doneness, turning once. Season with salt and pepper.
• Trim fat from steaks.
• (Cut top loin steaks crosswise in half.) Combine tomato sauce, basil, cheese and pasta; toss to coat. Serve steaks with pasta.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute pepper, onion, and garlic for 3 minutes. Add steak and Italian seasoning. Saute until steak begins to firm and is hot and slightly pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes more. Add remaining olive oil. Drain penne and mix into the skillet.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Whisk in flour; continue cooking and stirring until a paste forms, about 2 minutes. Add evaporated milk and garlic, stirring constantly until sauce is homogenous. Add Cheddar cheese and Gouda cheese by handfuls; continue stirring until completely melted, about 5 minutes. Remove sauce from heat and drizzle over the pasta.
