Ingredients

  • 20 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 lb thinly sliced steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank), cut into strips
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter, divided
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded provolone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup beef broth (optional, for depth of flavor)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak strips until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add remaining olive oil to the skillet. Sauté bell peppers and onions until tender, about 5–6 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream and beef broth (if using). Gradually add provolone cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
  5. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Stir in parmesan cheese if desired.
  6. Return steak and cooked tortellini to the skillet. Toss gently to coat everything in the sauce.
  7. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until heated through. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken for steak for a lighter version.
  • For a vegetarian option, replace steak with mushrooms.
  • Add crushed red pepper for a spicier kick.
  • If provolone isn’t available, use mozzarella or fontina cheese.
  • Reheat leftovers with a splash of cream or milk to restore creaminess.
