How to Make One-Pot Smoky Honey BBQ Steak Pasta

Step 1: Cook the Steak

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the steak strips and cook for 3-4 minutes, until browned on all sides.
  3. Remove the steak from the pot and set it aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

  1. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3: Make the BBQ Sauce

  1. Stir in the BBQ sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  2. Bring the sauce to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 4: Cook the Pasta

  1. Add the pasta to the pot, making sure it’s covered by the sauce. If needed, add a little more broth or water to ensure the pasta cooks evenly.
  2. Return the steak to the pot, nestling it into the sauce and pasta.
  3. Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked al dente and the steak is tender. Stir occasionally.

Step 5: Add Creaminess & Finish

  1. Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese to create a creamy, luscious sauce.
  2. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  3. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for a burst of color and flavor.

✔ Don’t Overcrowd the Pot – Cook the steak in batches if needed to ensure it browns evenly.
