Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 1 lb beef stir fry meat
  • 8 oz baby portabella mushrooms sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion cut in half, then sliced thinly
  • 1 green bell pepper cut in half, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 lb dried rotini
  • 4 cups beef stock
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 8 slices provolone cheese divided
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • minced fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat a dutch oven, or large oven safe heavy bottomed pot over medium high heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil and 1 Tbsp butter and let butter melt. Add beef pieces in an even layer – do not overcrowd. Work in batches if necessary. Stir fry beef for 60-90 seconds. Don't cook any longer or they'll be overcooked and tough. Remove to a plate.
  • Add remaining 1 Tbsp of oil and 1 Tbsp of butter to hot pot, then add mushrooms, onions and green pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or so, until tender and mushrooms have browned. Season with thyme and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Pour in beef stock and water, bring to a boil. Add pasta, reduce heat so liquid is at a gentle boil, and boil for approximately 12-15 minutes. Stir pasta frequently to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • When most of the liquid has been absorbed, turn off the heat. Chop 5 slices of provolone cheese and add to the sour cream, cream cheese & cooked beef. Stir well to combine. Add salt & pepper to taste.
  • Top pasta with remaining provolone slices and broil for 2-3 minutes, until cheese is toasted, melted and bubbly. Sprinkle with minced parsley.
