Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz cheese tortellini (1 package)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 1 pound beef steak (ribeye or sirloin, thinly sliced)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Tortellini
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, about 5–7 minutes, until tender.
- Drain the tortellini and set it aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet.
- Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the onions are golden brown.
- Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 3: Cook the Beef
- In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced beef steak.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Cook over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Step 4: Deglaze the Pan
- Pour the beef broth into the skillet with the cooked beef.
- Add Worcestershire sauce and stir to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
Step 5: Combine Everything
- Add the sautéed onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms back into the skillet with the beef.
- Stir in the cooked tortellini, mixing well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Step 6: Add the Cheese
- Reduce the heat to low.
- Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese over the pasta mixture.
- Gently stir until the cheese is fully melted and coats the pasta, beef, and vegetables.
Step 7: Serve
- Serve the Philly Cheesesteak Tortellini Pasta hot.
- Garnish with additional shredded cheese, fresh parsley, or red pepper flakes, if desired.
Notes
- Steak Tip: For easier slicing, freeze the steak for 10–15 minutes before cutting it into thin slices.
- Cheese Alternatives: Provolone is the classic choice for Philly cheesesteak flavors, but mozzarella or Monterey Jack can be used if preferred.
- Vegetarian Option: Swap the steak for more mushrooms or plant-based meat substitutes for a veggie-friendly version.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of broth or water.
