Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) thinly sliced beef steak
- 1 package (12 ounces/340 grams) cheese tortellini
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) beef broth
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Vegetables:
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the tortellini by boiling in salted water according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, sautéing sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms until they become soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Raise the skillet temperature to medium-high, add thinly sliced beef steak, seasoning generously with salt and black pepper, and cook until the meat develops a rich, golden-brown sear.
- Pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, allowing the liquid to simmer and create a flavorful sauce, reducing for approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Lower the heat, gently fold the cooked tortellini into the meat mixture, ensuring even coating and thorough heating.
- Sprinkle provolone cheese over the pasta, covering the skillet to allow the cheese to melt completely and create a creamy, smooth texture.
- Transfer the cheesy tortellini to serving plates, garnishing with additional cheese or fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Choose high-quality tortellini for better flavor and texture, ensuring the pasta is cooked al dente to prevent mushiness.
- Slice beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing during the cooking process.
- Pat beef dry before seasoning to help achieve a perfect golden-brown sear and enhance caramelization.
- Opt for low-sodium beef broth to control salt levels and prevent the dish from becoming too salty.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free tortellini and verify Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free.
- Consider using lean beef cuts like sirloin to reduce overall fat content while maintaining rich flavor.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes for those wanting a spicy kick to the classic Philly cheesesteak profile.
