Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 tsp dried oregano
  • 1.5 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp chili powder
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 0.25 tsp dried red pepper flakes adjust to heat preference
  • 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 lb beef stir fry meat or any thinly sliced cut
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion sliced
  • 2 medium bell peppers any colors, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 15 oz diced tomatoes canned
  • 2.5 cups beef or chicken stock can substitute water
  • 10 oz dried pasta penne or similar
  • 0.25 cup sour cream

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a small bowl, combine oregano, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt. Rub the spice mix onto the beef to coat evenly.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and brown on all sides, approximately 5 minutes. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
  • Add onion, bell peppers, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and combine with the cooked steak.
  • Stir diced tomatoes, stock, and dried pasta into the skillet. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook until pasta is tender but still has bite, about 8 to 12 minutes. Some sauce will remain in the pan.
  • Return steak and peppers to the skillet. Stir in sour cream and cook over low heat until everything is hot and well combined. Serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe can be easily adapted to use chicken instead of steak. Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of red pepper flakes.
