Description
Cheesesteak Tortellini in Rich Provolone Sauce combines the flavors of Philly cheesesteak with cheesy tortellini in a creamy provolone sauce, creating a hearty and indulgent dish.
Ingredients
1 lb cheese tortellini
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb beef steak (such as flank steak), thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup beef broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups provolone cheese, shredded
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the beef broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Gradually stir in the shredded provolone cheese, continuing to cook until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth.
- Return the cooked steak to the skillet and stir to combine with the sauce.
- Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the creamy cheese sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the cheesesteak tortellini in bowls, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
Vegetarian Option: Replace the beef steak with portobello mushrooms or a plant-based protein like tempeh or tofu.
Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a sliced jalapeño when cooking the vegetables.
Cheese Swap: Substitute provolone with mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix of cheeses for a different flavor.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk or cream.
