Cheesesteak Tortellini in Rich Provolone Sauce

A creamy, cheesy tortellini dish inspired by the classic Philly cheesesteak, featuring tender steak, sautéed onions and peppers, and a rich provolone cheese sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (12 oz) cheese tortellini
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound thinly sliced beef steak
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil the tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper, then sear quickly until browned but not overcooked. Remove steak and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add onions and bell peppers. Cook until softened and caramelized around the edges, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Pour in beef broth and scrape up browned bits from the pan. Simmer for a few minutes.
  5. Add heavy cream and reduce heat to low. Stir in shredded provolone cheese slowly until melted and sauce is smooth and glossy.
  6. Return the steak to the skillet and fold in the cooked tortellini gently to coat with sauce.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Use thinly sliced steak for quick searing to keep it tender. Stir the cheese in slowly to avoid clumping and achieve a smooth sauce. Serve with garlic bread to soak up the rich sauce.
