Ingredients

Scale

For the Tortellini:

  • 1 lb beef sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced
  • 1 package (20 oz) cheese tortellini
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Provolone Sauce:

  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups shredded provolone cheese
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving about ½ cup of the pasta water in case you need to thin the sauce later.
  2. Sear the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the thinly sliced beef in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes until browned, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Make the Provolone Sauce: Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor. Stir in the Italian seasoning, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Lower the heat to medium, then add the heavy cream. Slowly stir in the shredded provolone cheese, letting it melt and create a smooth, creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
  5. Combine Everything: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce. Add the drained tortellini and toss everything together until evenly combined. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes so the flavors meld together.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat. Serve hot and enjoy this creamy, cheesy, and savory Cheesesteak Tortellini!

Notes

  • For a twist, try adding mushrooms or spinach to the dish for extra flavor and nutrients.
  • This dish pairs well with a side of garlic bread or a simple green salad.
