Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Cheesesteak Tortellini in Rich Provolone Sauce:

  • 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:

  1. Cook the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Beef and Vegetables:

  1. Sauté the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the bell peppers and onion. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside with the beef.

Make the Provolone Sauce:

  1. Start the Roux: In the same skillet, add the flour and cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  2. Add the Liquids: Gradually whisk in the milk and beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Melt the Cheese: Stir in the shredded provolone cheese, a handful at a time, until fully melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine and Serve:

  1. Mix Everything Together: Return the beef, vegetables, and cooked tortellini to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat in the rich provolone sauce.
  2. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
