Ingredients

  • Cheese tortellini – adds cheesy bite and soft texture
  • Thinly sliced steak – provides hearty, savory flavor
  • Provolone cheese – melts smoothly for the signature creamy sauce
  • Heavy cream – forms the base of the rich sauce
  • Bell peppers and onions – classic cheesesteak vegetables for sweetness and crunch
  • Garlic and butter – add depth and aroma
  • Parmesan cheese (optional) – enhances the sauce’s complexity
  • Olive oil – used for searing and sautéing
  • Salt, black pepper, paprika – essential for seasoning and balance

Instructions

  1. Boil the tortellini according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the steak until just browned, then set aside to rest.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté onions and bell peppers until soft and caramelized.
  4. Add garlic and butter to the pan and cook until aromatic.
  5. Pour in heavy cream and stir in provolone cheese until melted into a creamy sauce.
  6. Return cooked tortellini and steak to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce.
  7. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika; add parmesan if desired.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with parsley or red pepper flakes.

Notes

  • Use high-quality provolone for best melting results.
  • Don’t overcook the steak — sear quickly for tender texture.
  • Deglaze the pan with white wine for added flavor depth.
  • Add a splash of pasta water if sauce thickens too much.
  • Customize with mushrooms, jalapeños, or different cheeses.
