  • 1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced) 🫑
  • 1 onion (thinly sliced) 🧅
  • 1 clove garlic (minced) 🧄
  • 1 tbsp olive oil 🫒
  • Salt and pepper to taste 🧂🌶️

For the Rich Provolone Sauce:

  • 1 ½ cups provolone cheese (shredded) 🧀

  • 1 tbsp butter 🧈
  • 1 tbsp flour 🌾
  • 1 cup milk 🥛

🍳 Instructions:

For the Cheesesteak Tortellini:

  1. Cook the Tortellini: Boil the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside 🧑‍🍳.

  2. Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sauté the thinly sliced beef until browned (about 3-4 minutes). Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside 🍖.

  3. Sauté Veggies: In the same skillet, add the onions, green bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened. If you're using mushrooms, toss them in during this step 🍄.

  4. Combine: Return the cooked beef to the skillet, add Worcestershire sauce (if using), and stir well to combine with the veggies. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn off the heat and set the mixture aside 🍽️.

For the Rich Provolone Sauce:

  1. Prepare the Roux: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to form a roux and cook for about 1 minute 🍳.

  2. Make the Sauce: Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Continue whisking until it thickens, about 3-4 minutes 🥣.

  3. Add the Cheese: Slowly stir in the shredded provolone cheese, whisking until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste 🧀.

Final Assembly:

  1. Combine Everything: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet with the beef and vegetables. Pour the creamy provolone sauce over the top and stir until everything is coated in the sauce 🧑‍🍳.

  2. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired 🌿, and serve hot! 🔥
