Description

quick and easy comfort food classic with a delicious twist! This dish combines tender tortellini, savory cheesesteak, and a rich creamy parmesan sauce.


Ingredients

Scale

1 pound thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
8 slices provolone cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 package tortellini


Instructions

1. Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms (if using). Cook until softened.
2. Cook the steak: Push vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, breaking it into smaller pieces.
3. Combine filling: Mix steak and vegetables. Top with provolone cheese, cover, and reduce heat to melt the cheese. Stir to combine.
4. Make the roux: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
5. Add liquids: Slowly whisk in heavy cream and milk until the sauce thickens.
6. Incorporate cheese and seasonings: Reduce heat to low. Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning until melted and smooth.
7. Cook tortellini: Boil tortellini according to package directions until al dente. Drain.
8. Combine everything: Gently mix the cheesesteak filling, parmesan sauce, and cooked tortellini in a large bowl. Adjust sauce consistency with pasta water if needed.
9. Serve immediately.


Notes

Use different cheeses, add spices for heat, incorporate spinach, or try different meats (ground beef, sausage, chicken) or make it vegetarian with more vegetables or plant-based “steak.”
