Ingredients
– 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
– 8 oz large pasta shells
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tsp paprika
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1 tsp Dijon mustard
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. – Season the steak slices with salt and pepper.
2. – Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
3. – In the same skillet, sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and paprika, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. – Pour in the heavy cream and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
5. – Add the seared steak and Dijon mustard to the sauce. Stir to combine and let the steak warm through, about 2-3 minutes.
6. – Meanwhile, cook the pasta shells according to package instructions. Drain and add the cooked shells to the skillet with the steak and sauce.
7. – Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the creamy paprika sauce.
8. – Serve the Creamy Paprika Steak Shells immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, you can let it simmer for a few extra minutes. Feel free to substitute other pasta shapes if you don’t have shells on hand. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
