Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 8 oz beef steak, thinly sliced
Vegetables
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers (mixed colors)
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
Pasta & Cheese
- 12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 4 oz provolone cheese, sliced or shredded
Other
- 2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the beef: Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef steak and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced peppers and onions and sauté until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-6 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook the tortellini: Meanwhile, cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions, usually boiling in salted water for 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
- Combine and melt cheese: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Add the cooked tortellini and gently stir everything together. Layer or sprinkle the provolone cheese on top. Cover and cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Serve: Once the cheese has melted into a creamy layer, remove from heat and serve immediately while warm and gooey.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin for the best texture and flavor.
- You can substitute provolone with mozzarella or cheddar for a different cheesy twist.
- For a spicier variation, add sliced jalapeños or red pepper flakes with the vegetables.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove or microwave.
