→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 lb fresh tortellini
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak
04 - 1 medium onion, sliced
05 - 1 medium bell pepper, sliced
06 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 1 cup beef broth
08 - 1 cup heavy cream
09 - 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
10 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
11 - Salt, to taste
12 - Black pepper, to taste
13 - 2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

# Steps:

01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, typically about 3-5 minutes, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add thinly sliced ribeye steak and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, add sliced onion and bell pepper. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt and black pepper.
04 - Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Scrape up any browned bits from the skillet with a wooden spoon. Let the broth simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly reduce.
05 - Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream and let the sauce thicken for about 2-3 minutes. Add shredded provolone cheese and stir constantly until melted and smooth. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated.
06 - Return the cooked steak to the skillet, mixing it into the creamy sauce. Add the drained tortellini and gently toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is heated through.
07 - Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish. Serve the cheesesteak tortellini immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.

# Notes:

01 - Consider using a high-quality ribeye steak for the best flavor and tenderness.
02 - For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk.
03 - Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef broth for extra flavor.
04 - Include mushrooms for more depth in the vegetable mix.
05 - For a spicy kick, toss in sliced jalapenos or red pepper flakes with the vegetables.
