Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb beef steak (such as sirloin or ribeye), thinly sliced
- 1 lb cheese tortellini
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces (226 grams) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauces, Seasonings, and Cheese:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare cheese tortellini according to package guidelines, then drain and reserve.
- Sear thinly sliced beef steak in a skillet with olive oil over high heat until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer meat to a separate plate.
- Using the same skillet, sauté sliced bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, and minced garlic with salt and pepper until vegetables become tender and slightly caramelized.
- Reintroduce the seared beef into the vegetable mixture.
- Pour beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce into the skillet, creating a rich, savory liquid. Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce slightly, concentrating the flavors.
- Gently fold the cooked tortellini into the beef and vegetable mixture, ensuring each pasta piece is evenly coated with the aromatic sauce.
- Generously sprinkle provolone cheese over the top of the pasta, then cover the skillet. Let the cheese melt completely, creating a creamy, luxurious coating.
- Remove from heat once the cheese is fully melted and glossy.
- Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, herbaceous finish before serving hot.
