Ingredients
- Cheese tortellini (or meat-filled tortellini)
- Thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak (or chicken/turkey for a lighter option)
- Bell peppers (any color)
- Onions (yellow or white)
- Provolone cheese (or Cheez Whiz, mozzarella, or a blend of melting cheeses)
- Beef broth (or vegetable broth for a non-meat alternative)
- Garlic powder
- Salt
- Pepper
- Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- Hot sauce (optional)
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Cook the Tortellini: Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the tortellini and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Steak: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the thinly sliced steak. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Combine Ingredients: After the steak is cooked, return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet. Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
- Add the Tortellini: Gently fold in the cooked tortellini, ensuring it’s coated with the steak and vegetable mixture.
- Melt the Cheese: Lower the heat and sprinkle your chosen cheese over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for a couple of minutes until the cheese melts beautifully.
- Serve: Once the cheese has melted, give everything a gentle stir to combine. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
