Ingredients

Scale

Main Protein:

  • 1 pound (454 grams) sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound (454 grams) cheese tortellini

Vegetables:

  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Cheese and Seasonings:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare tortellini according to package directions until perfectly tender, then drain and reserve.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, creating a sizzling surface for the steak.
  3. Sear steak slices quickly, allowing them to develop a rich, golden-brown exterior in approximately 3-4 minutes.
  4. Introduce bell peppers, onions, and garlic into the skillet, cooking until vegetables soften and steak reaches preferred doneness, roughly 5-6 minutes.
  5. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, ensuring balanced flavors throughout the ingredients.
  6. Gently fold cooked tortellini into the skillet, coating each pasta pocket with the savory meat and vegetable mixture.
  7. Distribute provolone cheese across the top of the pasta, allowing it to melt and create a creamy, luxurious layer.
  8. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the melted provolone, adding a sharp, nutty dimension to the dish.
  9. Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley for a bright, herbal finish and visual appeal.
  10. Serve immediately while the cheese is still warm and slightly gooey, presenting a delectable Philly Cheesesteak Tortellini Pasta.

Notes

  • Opt for high-quality steak like ribeye or sirloin for maximum flavor and tenderness in the dish.
  • Choose fresh tortellini from the refrigerated section for better texture and taste compared to dried versions.
  • Keep vegetables crisp by cooking them quickly over high heat to maintain their vibrant colors and nutrients.
  • Experiment with different cheese combinations like adding cream cheese or using a sharp provolone for extra richness.
