Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 lb beef steak, thinly sliced
Vegetables
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (mix of red and green preferred)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
Pasta
- 12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
Cheese
- 6 oz provolone cheese, sliced or shredded
Other
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef steak and season with salt and pepper. Cook until just browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add sliced peppers and onions. Cook over medium heat until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook Tortellini: While vegetables are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package directions until al dente, usually 3-5 minutes. Drain the tortellini thoroughly.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the sautéed peppers and onions. Stir in the drained tortellini and mix well to combine and heat through for 2 minutes.
- Add Cheese and Melt: Layer the provolone cheese evenly over the top of the skillet mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt over medium-low heat, about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve: Once the cheese has melted, gently stir the mixture to incorporate the cheese into the dish. Serve warm for a delicious Philly Cheesesteak inspired pasta meal.
Notes
- You can substitute provolone with mozzarella for a milder cheese taste.
- For extra flavor, consider adding garlic while sautéing the vegetables.
- If you prefer a saucier dish, add a splash of beef broth or cream before adding the provolone cheese.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
