  3. 2. Stir in arrowroot powder or cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, hot water, milk, and lupini pasta, then bring to a simmer.
  4. 3. Lower heat to medium, cover the skillet, and simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta reaches al dente texture.
  5. Cook beef to your preferred doneness and let steaks or larger cuts rest before serving.
