02 -
450 g thinly sliced steak (ribeye or sirloin), cut into bite-sized pieces
03 -
15 ml olive oil
04 -
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
05 -
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
06 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
07 -
240 ml beef broth
08 -
240 ml heavy cream
09 -
225 g provolone cheese, shredded
10 -
Salt, to taste
11 -
Black pepper, to taste
12 -
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
# How to Make It:
01 -
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortellini and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add steak pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 3–4 minutes. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
03 -
In the same skillet, add sliced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until vegetables are softened and onion is translucent, approximately 5–6 minutes.
04 -
Pour beef broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes to concentrate flavors.
05 -
Add heavy cream to the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally until the sauce begins to thicken, about 4–5 minutes.
06 -
Gradually add shredded provolone cheese, stirring continuously until fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
07 -
Return cooked steak to the skillet. Toss steak in the creamy sauce until thoroughly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
08 -
Add cooked tortellini to the skillet. Gently toss to combine with the steak and sauce, ensuring all components are evenly coated.
09 -
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the finished dish and serve immediately.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for heat.
02 -
Mozzarella can be used in place of provolone for a milder flavor.
03 -
Freshly grated cheese delivers a smoother, silkier sauce.
04 -
Pair with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
05 -
For best texture, enjoy this dish freshly prepared; reheating may cause the sauce to separate.
