Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package (20 oz) cheese tortellini
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • ½ cup shredded provolone cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tortellini: Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain thoroughly and set aside.
  2. Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced green bell pepper, sliced onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and aromatic. Remove from heat and set aside with the cooked beef.
  4. Make the Provolone Sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for about 1 minute to create a roux, which will thicken the sauce. Gradually pour in the whole milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue stirring for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and begins to bubble. Stir in shredded provolone cheese and grated Parmesan until fully melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Combine and Serve: Add the cooked tortellini, browned beef, and sautéed vegetables into the creamy provolone sauce. Gently stir everything together to coat the ingredients evenly with the sauce. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot. Optional: garnish with freshly chopped parsley or extra Parmesan cheese for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Slice the beef thinly against the grain to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Use fresh or high-quality tortellini for the best texture and flavor absorption.
  • Do not overcook the steak to prevent it from becoming tough.
  • For extra flavor, you can substitute the green bell pepper with sautéed mushrooms or add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Serve with garlic bread or a crisp green salad to balance the richness of the dish.
