Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz high-protein pasta

- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz light cream cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: Cook high-protein pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced steak and cook 2 to 3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

- Step 8: Serve warm with extra cracked pepper if desired.
Notes
Use extra-lean sirloin for the leanest dish. To reduce fat further, substitute part-skim cheese options or 1% milk. Want more veggies? Add mushrooms or extra peppers for color and texture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
