Ingredients

Protein

  • 1 pound sirloin steak, thinly sliced

Pasta

  • 20 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini

Vegetables

  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Dairy

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Liquids and Oils

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided


Instructions

  1. Cook the tortellini: Prepare the cheese tortellini according to the package directions until tender, then drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the thinly sliced steak with half of the salt and black pepper. Quickly cook the steak for 2 to 3 minutes until just browned, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced green bell pepper, yellow onion, and mushrooms. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the vegetables are softened and lightly caramelized.
  4. Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Make the sauce: Pour in the beef broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and add the remaining salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  6. Melt the cheeses: Reduce the heat to low and stir in shredded provolone and mozzarella cheeses until melted and smooth, creating a creamy sauce.
  7. Combine all components: Return the cooked steak and tortellini to the skillet, tossing gently to coat everything evenly in the creamy cheese sauce and heat through.
  8. Serve: Serve the Philly Cheesesteak Tortellini hot, garnished as desired.

Notes

  • For a more traditional cheesesteak flavor, substitute sirloin steak with ribeye steak.
  • To boost richness, add an additional 1/4 cup provolone cheese to the sauce.
