Ingredients
-
1 lb thinly sliced beef steak (ribeye, sirloin, or shaved steak)
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
20 oz cheese tortellini (fresh, refrigerated, or frozen)
-
1 large onion, thinly sliced
-
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 cup beef broth
-
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tsp steak seasoning
-
½ tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
-
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the sliced steak with salt, pepper, and steak seasoning. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
-
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, cook onions and bell peppers for 4–5 minutes until soft and caramelized. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
-
Make the Sauce: Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and heavy cream. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in provolone and Parmesan until melted and smooth. Add Dijon mustard if desired.
-
Combine Everything: Add cooked tortellini and seared steak to the skillet. Stir to coat evenly in the creamy sauce. Simmer for 3 minutes until heated through.
-
Serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm with garlic bread or a fresh salad.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream and use lean beef.
Freshly grated cheese prevents the sauce from turning grainy.
Avoid overcooking tortellini—it softens further in the sauce.
Reheat gently with a splash of milk or broth to restore creaminess.
