Ingredients

Scale

For the Cheesesteak Filling:

  • 1 lb beef sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced (tender and flavorful)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced (adds sweetness)
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional, for crunch and color)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (for a savory kick)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Tortellini:

  • 1 package (about 9 oz) cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

For the Creamy Provolone Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded (for a rich, melty sauce)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Tortellini:
    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
    • Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Cheesesteak Filling:
    • While the tortellini cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Add the thinly sliced beef and season with salt and pepper. Sear the beef until browned, about 3-4 minutes.
    • Add the onions, bell pepper (if using), and garlic. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
    • Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Make the Creamy Provolone Sauce:
    • In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
    • Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste.
    • Slowly whisk in the milk, making sure there are no lumps. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 4-5 minutes.
    • Once thickened, add the shredded provolone cheese and Dijon mustard (if using). Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine Everything:
    • Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet with the creamy provolone sauce.
    • Gently toss to coat the tortellini in the sauce.
    • Add the cooked cheesesteak beef and veggies, stirring to combine.
    • Cook everything together for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Serve the cheesesteak tortellini hot, garnished with extra provolone cheese or fresh parsley if desired.
    • Enjoy with a side of crusty bread for a complete meal!

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, simmer the sauce for an extra 2-3 minutes.
  • Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
