Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein and Pasta:
- 1 lb (450 g) cheese tortellini
- 1/2 lb (225 g) steak, thinly sliced
Vegetables:
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 1/2 bell pepper, sliced
Liquids and Cheese:
- 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (100 g) provolone cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare tortellini according to package directions at 212°F (100°C), ensuring al dente texture. Drain and reserve.
- Sear thinly sliced steak in hot olive oil over medium-high heat until caramelized and golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, sauté sliced onions and bell peppers until they become translucent and slightly softened, roughly 5 minutes.
- Create a creamy sauce by deglazing the pan with beef broth and heavy cream. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the liquid reduces and thickens slightly.
- Reintroduce the cooked steak and tortellini into the skillet, gently tossing to ensure even coating with the sauce.
- Generously sprinkle provolone cheese over the pasta mixture, allowing it to melt completely and create a luxurious, stringy texture.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or green onions if desired. Serve immediately while hot and cheese is perfectly melted.
Notes
- Prevent Meat Toughness Choose high-quality, thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak and avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness and juiciness.
- Customize Cheese Experiment with different cheese varieties like mozzarella or white cheddar for unique flavor profiles while maintaining the classic Philly cheesesteak essence.
- Gluten-Free Alternative Substitute regular tortellini with gluten-free tortellini or replace pasta with zucchini noodles for a low-carb option without compromising taste.
- Quick Meal Prep Prepare steak and vegetables in advance and store separately to create a fast weeknight dinner that can be assembled in minutes.
