Cheesesteak Tortellini in Creamy Provolone Sauce

A bowl of Cheesesteak Tortellini in Creamy Provolone Sauce, garnished with fresh parsley, served with a side of garlic bread

A fusion of Italian comfort food and an American classic, this Cheesesteak Tortellini in Creamy Provolone Sauce combines tender cheese-filled tortellini with savory steak, caramelized onions and peppers, and a rich provolone sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 ounces cheese tortellini, fresh or frozen
  • 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 green), thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces provolone cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the cheese tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Sauté the onions and bell peppers until softened and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits. Add heavy cream, provolone cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning. Simmer while stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens.
  5. Return the cooked steak and tortellini to the skillet. Toss to coat evenly in the creamy provolone sauce.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Use high-quality steak for the best flavor. Adjust sauce consistency by adding more beef broth if needed. Freshly grated provolone melts better than pre-shredded cheese.
