Ingredients
Scale
Pasta
- 1 package (12 oz) cheese tortellini
Vegetables
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
Meat and Seasonings
- 1 pound thinly sliced beef steak
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Liquids and Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
- Cook tortellini: Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package directions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside to prevent overcooking.
- Sauté vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, green bell peppers, and mushrooms, cooking until they are tender and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
- Brown the beef: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet or remove temporarily. Add the thinly sliced beef steak to the skillet and cook until browned, seasoning with salt and pepper for flavor.
- Simmer broth and sauce: Stir in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet with beef and vegetables. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5 minutes to meld the flavors and slightly reduce the liquid.
- Combine tortellini: Add the cooked and drained tortellini back to the skillet. Toss everything together carefully to evenly coat the pasta with the sauce and distribute the ingredients.
- Add cheese and melt: Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese evenly over the top of the skillet contents. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt, creating a creamy and cheesy finish.
- Serve: Serve the Philly Cheesesteak Tortellini hot, optionally garnished with extra shredded cheese or fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin for the best beef flavor and tenderness.
- Ensure the tortellini is drained well to avoid sogginess in the final dish.
- Worcestershire sauce adds a unique umami depth, but can be adjusted or omitted for dietary preference.
- Covering the skillet to melt the cheese lets it create a gooey topping without drying out the pasta.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes when sautéing vegetables.
