Description
A quick and comforting one-pan dish featuring tender beef, cheesy tortellini, and a creamy provolone sauce—a flavor-packed twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 1 lb thinly sliced steak or shaved beef (ribeye or flank steak)
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup shredded or sliced provolone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup beef broth (low-sodium)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the beef, onions, and bell peppers thinly. Mince the garlic cloves. If using frozen tortellini, cook them according to the package directions and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
- Lower the heat to medium and pour in the beef broth and heavy cream. Add the shredded provolone cheese a handful at a time, stirring constantly to melt the cheese and create a smooth, creamy sauce. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Stir the cooked tortellini and browned beef into the skillet, ensuring everything is coated in the provolone sauce. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Transfer the Cheesesteak Tortellini to serving bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of grated provolone, if desired.
Notes
[‘Use high-quality cheese for a creamy texture.’, ‘Slice beef thinly for quick cooking and tenderness.’, ‘Avoid overcooking tortellini to prevent it from becoming mushy.’, ‘Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed.’, ‘If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of beef broth to thin it out. If too thin, add more cheese or let it simmer longer.’]
