Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (1 lb) beef steak (thinly sliced)
- 10 ounces (10 oz) cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)
- 1 cup provolone cheese (shredded)
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 medium onion (sliced thin)
- 1 bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Cooking and Seasoning:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare tortellini according to package guidelines, ensuring al dente texture. Drain thoroughly and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
- In a spacious skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic until vegetables become translucent and slightly caramelized, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer sautéed vegetables to the bowl with tortellini, using the same skillet to cook steak slices.
- Cook steak over high heat until edges turn crispy and brown, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Aim for medium-rare doneness, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Create provolone sauce by melting butter in a saucepan over medium-low temperature. Gradually whisk in flour, creating a smooth roux and cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
- Slowly incorporate milk into the roux, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Simmer until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Reduce heat and fold in provolone cheese, stirring until completely melted and sauce becomes silky.
- Combine tortellini, sautéed vegetables, and browned steak in the sauce, gently mixing to ensure even coating.
- Plate immediately, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for added freshness and visual appeal.
Notes
- Ensure tortellini is cooked al dente to prevent mushy texture and maintain a firm bite.
- Use thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin for the most tender and flavorful steak experience.
- Grate fresh provolone for a richer, more authentic cheese sauce that melts smoothly and enhances overall flavor profile.
- Consider gluten-free alternatives like cornstarch instead of flour and gluten-free tortellini for those with dietary restrictions.
