Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 1 pound of cheese tortellini, cooking according to package instructions until tender, usually 3-5 minutes. Once cooked, drain the tortellini well and keep it warm by returning it to the pot, covered, to retain its heat and prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the thinly sliced steak (about 1 pound), searing for 3-4 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and place it on a plate, covering it to keep warm, while retaining the drippings in the skillet for the sauce.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic, cooking over medium heat. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.
- Pour 1 cup of beef broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan. Allow the broth to come to a gentle simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to thicken slightly for about 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Gradually add 8 ounces of shredded provolone cheese to the simmering sauce, stirring continuously until melted and smooth.
- Return the seared steak to the skillet, stirring to coat each piece in the creamy sauce. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently fold the warm cheese tortellini into the sauce, ensuring each piece is beautifully coated in the creamy provolone sauce.
- Finally, spoon the Cheesesteak Tortellini in Creamy Provolone Sauce into serving bowls. Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley.
