I hardly thought of what menu for tonight, and checked what I got in my kitchen. I had penne noodles in my pantry, zucchini and red bell pepper bought yesterday and got also sirloin beef in the freezer. I came out with this recipe from nowhere, I just made everything easy and simple but the outcome is perfect. You would love the flavorful beef and the crisp of zucchini in every bite. Try it and the taste is wonderful.
