Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Cheesesteak Filling
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced flank steak and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, or until browned.
- Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Tortellini
- While the beef and vegetables are cooking, prepare the tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Rich Provolone Sauce
- In the same skillet (don’t worry about leftover bits; they add flavor!), reduce the heat to medium and add the heavy cream. Stir to combine.
- Gradually add the shredded provolone cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Sprinkle in the garlic powder and Italian seasoning, and stir well to combine.
Step 4: Combine Everything
- Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet with the sauce, followed by the cooked beef and vegetable mixture. Gently toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
- Divide the cheesesteak tortellini among plates or serve family-style in the skillet. Top with additional shredded provolone cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for garnish.
