  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups provolone cheese, shredded or chopped

  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or 1 cup sliced mushrooms

  4. Add shaved steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Remove steak and vegetables from skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, melt butter. Whisk in flour to form a roux and cook for 1 minute.

  7. Add provolone cheese, stirring until melted and sauce is smooth.

Notes

  • Add mushrooms for an earthy flavor boost.
  • Use crushed red pepper flakes or spicy provolone for heat.
  • Swap in garlic herb tortellini for extra flavor.
  • Ground beef or leftover roast beef can be used instead of steak.
  • Top with mozzarella and broil for a cheesy baked finish.
