2 tbsp Neutral Oil Vegetable or canola oil can be substituted.
400 g Fillet or Ribeye Steak Thinly sliced; use chicken or turkey for leaner options.
0.5 tsp Salt Adjust to your preference.
0.5 tsp Black Pepper Increase for more heat.
1 tbsp Salted Butter Opt for unsalted butter if preferred.
1 Onion Thickly sliced; yellow or red onions vary flavors.
1 Green Bell Pepper Thickly sliced; red or yellow can be substituted.
2 cloves Garlic Minced; fresh is best.
240 ml Double Cream Heavy cream or a blend works well too.
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce Soy sauce can be used as a substitute.

Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pappardelle. Cook for 10-12 minutes until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining the rest.
Sear Steak: Heat a frying pan over high heat and add neutral oil. Season the thinly sliced steak with salt and pepper, then sear for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove and let rest.
Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, melt the salted butter and add the thickly sliced onion and green bell pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes until softened, then add minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
Make Sauce: Pour in the double cream and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then return the seared steak with any juices to the pan, reducing the heat to low.
Combine and Toss: Add the drained cooked pasta to the skillet with the creamy sauce and steak. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to achieve your desired creaminess.
Add Cheese and Serve: Stir in the grated mozzarella cheese until it melts into the sauce, making it extra creamy. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of black pepper on top.

Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an extra touch of flavor and color.
