Ingredients
Scale
Cheesesteak Tortellini
- 1 package (12 oz) cheese tortellini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 pound beef steak, cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
- Cook Tortellini: Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions until tender. Drain well and set aside to keep warm.
- Sauté Onions: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 to 7 minutes, to develop a deep flavor.
- Brown Beef: Add the cubed beef steak to the skillet with the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned on all sides and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add Broth and Sauce: Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine all ingredients and allow the mixture to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Melt Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese evenly over the beef and onion mixture. Stir continuously until the cheese fully melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Combine Tortellini: Gently fold the cooked tortellini into the skillet, coating the pasta thoroughly with the rich provolone sauce and beef mixture. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use fresh cheese tortellini for the best texture and flavor.
- If provolone cheese is unavailable, mild mozzarella can be a substitute, though flavor will slightly differ.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when cooking onions.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or in a microwave to prevent the cheese sauce from separating.
