Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (1 lb) cheese tortellini
- 1 pound (1 lb) thinly sliced steak
- 8 ounces (8 oz) provolone cheese, shredded
Vegetables:
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water and cook tortellini at a rolling boil for 8-10 minutes until pasta reaches al dente texture. Carefully drain and reserve.
- Heat olive oil in a robust skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear sliced steak quickly, ensuring each piece develops a golden-brown crust.
- Introduce sliced onions and green bell peppers directly into the meat pan. Sauté vegetables until they soften and caramelize slightly, releasing their aromatic essence.
- Stream beef broth into the skillet, allowing liquid to simmer and create a rich, flavorful base. Gradually whisk shredded provolone cheese until sauce becomes creamy and uniform.
- Gently fold cooked tortellini into the provolone sauce, ensuring each pasta pillow gets thoroughly coated. Season mixture with a judicious sprinkle of salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Transfer the steaming cheesesteak tortellini to serving plates, ensuring each portion captures the harmonious blend of tender meat, melted cheese, and perfectly cooked pasta.
Notes
- Customize your tortellini selection by choosing cheese, meat, or spinach-filled varieties to match personal preferences.
- Slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing, ensuring each bite remains succulent and flavorful.
- Control sauce thickness by adjusting beef broth quantity – less liquid creates a richer, more concentrated provolone coating while more creates a lighter, silkier texture.
- Consider gluten-free tortellini options and swap regular cheese for lactose-free alternatives to accommodate dietary restrictions without compromising taste.
