Ingredients
- 1 lb cheese tortellini
- 1 lb thinly sliced steak (ribeye or sirloin)
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook Tortellini – Boil cheese tortellini in salted water as per package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables – Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced bell pepper and onion, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until softened. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the Steak – In the same skillet, cook the thinly sliced steak for 3-5 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and just done. Remove and set aside.
- Prepare Sauce – Add heavy cream and shredded provolone to the skillet, stirring continuously over medium heat until the cheese melts and forms a smooth sauce (about 2-3 minutes).
- Combine Everything – Return the cooked tortellini, sautéed vegetables, and steak to the skillet. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy provolone sauce.
- Serve – Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For a spicier version, add crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
- Substitute provolone with mozzarella or white cheddar for a different flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of cream to maintain consistency.
