  • Author: recipesfresh.net

Description

Indulge in Philly Cheesesteak Tortellini Pasta with steak, bell peppers, onions, and provolone. A quick and creamy 30-minute comfort meal!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 4 slices Philly sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 teaspoons steak seasoning (adjust to taste)
  • 19 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 pint half and half
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese

Instructions

  • Preparation: Thinly slice the steak, green bell pepper, and dice the yellow onion. Measure out all ingredients for easy cooking.
  • Sauté Steak and Vegetables:
    Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the steak slices, green bell pepper, and yellow onion. Sprinkle with steak seasoning and cook until vegetables are softened and steak is fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes).
  • Add Tortellini and Half and Half:
    Pour the half and half into the pan and add the cheese tortellini. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Melt the Cheese:
    Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese evenly over the cooked tortellini. Cover the pan and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese melts completely.
  • Serve:
    Remove the pan from heat and give everything a gentle stir. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ingredient Substitutions:
    • Use chicken breast or mushrooms as a steak alternative for variation.
    • Replace provolone with mozzarella or Swiss cheese for a unique flavor twist.
  • Prevent Sticking:
    Stir the tortellini occasionally while cooking to prevent sticking to the pan.
  • Customize the Seasoning:
    Adjust the steak seasoning and add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Reheating Tip:
    Add a splash of milk or half and half when reheating to maintain the dish’s creamy consistency
