Description
A comforting twist on the classic cheesesteak, combining flavors of savory beef, fresh peppers, and creamy provolone sauce with cheese tortellini.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb thinly sliced beef (e.g., ribeye or sirloin), cut into strips
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 cup beef broth
- 8 oz provolone cheese, shredded
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the refrigerated cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Beef and Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Add the sliced green and red bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic, stirring until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
- Make the Provolone Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the beef and vegetable mixture, stirring to coat. Gradually pour in the milk and beef broth while continuously stirring. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir in the shredded provolone cheese until melted and creamy.
- Combine and Serve: Fold the cooked tortellini into the beef and provolone mixture until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For a bolder flavor, consider adding spices like paprika or Italian seasoning. Use fresh ingredients for the best results.
