  • Diet: Non-Vegetarian

Description

A delightful twist on a classic comfort food that combines hearty cheesesteak flavors with tender tortellini in a creamy provolone sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz (340 g) cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 lb (450 g) ribeye steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (any color)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (240 ml) beef broth
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 8 oz (225 g) provolone cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water. Set the tortellini aside.
  2. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the thinly sliced steak and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the steak and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the onion and bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they soften.
  4. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the beef broth, bringing it to a simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and let it gently simmer. Once heated, add the shredded provolone cheese. Stir until the cheese melts into a smooth sauce.
  6. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Add the cooked steak and tortellini to the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For a spicier dish, add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce. For a vegetarian version, replace steak with sautéed mushrooms or a meat substitute.
