Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh cheese tortellini
- 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye steak
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 4 ounce sliced mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 4 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 3 cup milk
- 8 ounce shredded provolone cheese
- 4 ounce shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Hot sauce
Instructions
1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms (if using), and minced garlic. Season the mixture with Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes (if desired). Cook until the steak is browned and the vegetables are tender, then remove the skillet from the heat and set the mixture aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and continue cooking until the sauce has thickened. Stir in the shredded provolone and mozzarella cheeses until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (if desired).
4. Add the cooked tortellini and the steak-vegetable mixture to the cheese sauce, tossing everything together until it’s fully coated. Serve the Cheesesteak Tortellini warm, garnished with fresh chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, and a splash of hot sauce if desired.
Notes
To ensure the best Cheesesteak Tortellini, consider these tips:
Choose a high-quality ribeye steak or opt for shaved steak for the most authentic cheesesteak flavor.
Be careful not to overcook the tortellini, as it can become mushy. Follow the package instructions for the perfect al dente texture.
Feel free to experiment with different cheese combinations, such as adding some sharp cheddar or Parmesan for an extra cheesy kick.
If you want to incorporate more vegetables, try adding sautéed bell peppers, mushrooms, or even spinach to the dish.
Cheesesteak Tortellini pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad, garlic bread, or even a side of roasted potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
