Method
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add the steak and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Add the heavy cream and cream cheese and stir until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Add the tortellini to the sauce and cook according to package directions, or until tender.
- Stir in the cooked steak and provolone cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted and gooey, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with your favorite toppings such as chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, and hot sauce.
Notes
For best results, use a good quality steak and freshly grated cheese. Don't overcook the steak, and simmer the sauce gently to prevent it from separating. This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To spice it up, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce. Feel free to add other veggies to the sauce, such as mushrooms, spinach, or broccoli. You can use ground beef, chicken, or plant-based steak substitute instead of steak. Mozzarella, white American cheese, or even cheddar cheese would be delicious in place of provolone.
