Ingredients

1 2/3 cups uncooked farfalle (bow-tie) pasta or 2 oz uncooked soba (buckwheat) noodles
1/2 lb beef boneless sirloin, about 1/2 inch thick, cut into 2 pieces
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
3 tablespoons tomato sauce
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 small onion, chopped (1/4 cup)
1 medium bell pepper, chopped (3/4 cup)

Steps:

Cook and drain pasta as directed on package, omitting salt.
Meanwhile, rub both sides of beef pieces with coarsely ground pepper. Heat 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook beef in skillet 8 to 12 minutes, turning once, until almost done.
