Ingredients
Scale
- 9 oz cheese tortellini
- 1 lb sliced steak (sirloin or ribeye)
- 1 cup bell peppers (sliced)
- 1 medium onion (sliced)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup provolone cheese (shredded)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a pot of boiling salted water, add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions (usually around 3-5 minutes). Once done, drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once heated, toss in the sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Push the veggies to one side of the skillet, then add the sliced steak, allowing it to brown for about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Lower the heat and pour the heavy cream into the skillet, stirring to combine all ingredients.
- Gradually stir in the shredded provolone cheese until melted and smooth.
- Carefully add the drained tortellini to the skillet, coating them thoroughly in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat, plate the dish, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
