Cheesesteak Tortellini in Rich Provolone Sauce Delight
Ingredients
- 12 ounces cheese tortellini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 each bell pepper (red or green), thinly sliced
- 8 ounces sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces provolone cheese, shredded
- 0 to taste salt and pepper
- 0 to taste fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until they are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet, add the sliced sirloin steak to the center and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce slightly for about 3 minutes. Lower the heat, then add the heavy cream and stir to combine.
- Gradually add the shredded provolone cheese into the skillet, stirring continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, gently tossing to coat the pasta in the rich provolone sauce. Allow to heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
