Ingredients
18 ounces cheese tortellini, fresh or refrigerated
1 pound ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 large yellow onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup beef broth
1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the steak and vegetables: Slice the steak thinly against the grain. Slice the onion and bell pepper. Mince the garlic.
2. Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Cook the beef: Add sliced steak to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sauté until just browned and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes. Remove beef and vegetables to a plate; cover to keep warm.
4. Make the sauce: Pour beef broth into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits. Stir in heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Add provolone and parmesan, stirring until smooth.
5. Cook the tortellini: While the sauce simmers, cook tortellini in a pot of boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain well.
6. Combine and finish: Return beef and veggies to the skillet. Add cooked tortellini and toss everything together until well coated in the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
7. Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For the creamiest sauce, shred provolone fresh from a block—pre-shredded cheese doesn’t melt as smoothly.
Make sure to slice the steak thinly so it stays tender and cooks quickly.
If reheating, add a splash of cream or broth to keep the sauce silky.
