## đŸ‘©â€đŸł How to Make One-Pot Zesty Steak Pasta

### 1. Sear the Steak

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak, season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, and cook until browned on both sides but still tender inside. Remove the steak and set aside.

### 2. Sauté the Aromatics

In the same pan, add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

### 3. Add Liquids and Pasta

Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice and beef broth. Stir in the pasta and chili flakes. Bring to a simmer.

### 4. Cook the Pasta

Cover the pan and let the pasta cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.

### 5. Return Steak and Add Zest

Add the cooked steak back to the pan along with the lemon juice. Stir to combine and heat through for 2 minutes.

### 6. Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or basil on top. Serve hot with grated Parmesan cheese if you like.
