Ingredients
Scale
Protein Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 1 pound (454 grams) cheese tortellini
Vegetable Ingredients:
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1 cup (100 grams) shredded provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) beef broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare tortellini according to package directions, ensuring al dente texture. Drain and reserve.
- Sear beef slices in a hot skillet with olive oil until golden brown and caramelized. Transfer meat to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, sauté diced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic over medium heat until vegetables soften and become translucent, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Create a rich sauce by adding beef broth, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk ingredients together and allow mixture to simmer gently.
- Gradually incorporate shredded provolone cheese, stirring continuously until sauce becomes smooth and creamy without lumps.
- Reintroduce seared beef slices and cooked tortellini into the skillet, gently coating each piece with the luxurious provolone sauce.
- Season the dish with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a subtle heat kick.
- Plate immediately while sauce remains warm and serve with a garnish of fresh herbs for added freshness.
Notes
- Choose a tender cut like ribeye or sirloin for the most succulent and flavorful cheesesteak tortellini experience.
- Grate provolone fresh for smoother melting and richer sauce consistency, avoiding pre-shredded cheese which contains anti-caking agents.
- Adjust red pepper flakes based on heat preference, starting with a pinch and gradually increasing for personalized kick.
- Swap steak with portobello mushrooms or plant-based protein for a delicious meatless alternative that maintains the dish’s robust flavor profile.
