Description

Ingredients
1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
10 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups shredded provolone cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for topping)
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak slices, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add butter and sauté onions and bell peppers until softened, about 5–6 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Slowly stir in shredded provolone until fully melted. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
4. Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain and add to the sauce.
5. Return steak to the skillet and fold everything together. Sprinkle mozzarella over the top and broil for 2–3 minutes until melted and golden (optional).
6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Don’t overcook the tortellini—slightly undercooked is better since it will finish cooking in the sauce.
Keep the cream sauce over medium-low heat to prevent curdling.
Want it extra gooey? Use a mix of provolone and mozzarella in the sauce, not just on top.
