Ingredients
- Shaved Beef Steak
- Tortellini (cheese-filled, meat-filled, or spinach and ricotta)
- Onion (sweet yellow onion preferred)
- Bell Pepper (green bell pepper preferred)
- Cheese (sliced provolone and homemade cheese sauce or shredded sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack)
- Beef Broth
- Milk or Cream (whole milk or half-and-half)
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Garlic Powder
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Olive Oil
Instructions
- Prep Your Veggies & Cook Tortellini: Slice your onion and bell pepper into thin strips. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook your tortellini according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, tossing with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Sear the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shaved beef steak in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until browned but still tender. Remove from skillet and set aside, reserving drippings.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Reduce heat to medium and add more olive oil if needed. Add sliced onions and bell peppers, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until softened and onions are translucent.
- Build the Sauce: Return the seared beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in beef broth and milk (or cream), then add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Melt the Cheese: Reduce heat to low. Layer provolone slices over the beef and veggies, or stir in shredded cheeses or homemade cheese sauce. Stir continuously until all cheese has melted into a smooth sauce.
- Combine with Tortellini: Add drained tortellini to the skillet with the cheesy beef and veggie mixture. Toss gently until tortellini is coated in the sauce.
- Serve Immediately: Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or black pepper.
