Ingredients
Scale
- 19 oz (540 g) refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 4 slices philly sirloin steak
- 1 pint (473 ml) half and half
- 1 cup (100 g) shredded provolone cheese
- 1/2 yellow onion (finely diced)
- 1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 2 tsps steak seasoning (adjust according to taste)
- 1 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Slice sirloin steak into thin strips and prepare green bell pepper and yellow onion by cutting them finely.
- Warm olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, then sauté steak strips with green peppers and onions. Sprinkle steak seasoning across the mixture, cooking until vegetables soften and meat is completely cooked through.
- Pour half and half into the pan with cooked steak and vegetables, then add refrigerated cheese tortellini. Increase heat to bring mixture to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.
- Cover the pan and cook tortellini for approximately 10 minutes, stirring intermittently to prevent pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- After tortellini reaches desired tenderness, evenly distribute shredded provolone cheese across the surface of the pasta.
- Replace lid and allow cheese to melt completely, which should take 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately while cheese remains hot and melted, ensuring each portion contains a balanced mix of tortellini, steak, and vegetables.
Notes
- Customize meat selection by choosing leaner cuts like flank steak or trimming excess fat for a healthier version.
- Ensure tortellini is cooked al dente by checking package instructions and testing pasta texture during simmering process.
- Create dairy-free alternative by substituting half and half with unsweetened coconut milk or vegetable broth for lactose-intolerant individuals.
- Enhance flavor complexity by adding minced garlic or a splash of Worcestershire sauce during steak sautéing for deeper umami notes.
