Description
Cheesesteak Tortellini in Creamy Provolone Sauce is a delightful dish that combines cheese tortellini with tender steak and a rich provolone cheese sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- One package (12 oz) of cheese tortellini
- One tablespoon of olive oil
- One large onion, sliced
- One pound of cubed beef steak
- Half a teaspoon of salt
- Quarter teaspoon of pepper
- One cup of beef broth
- Two tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
- One cup of shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
- Preparation: Begin by ensuring your cheese tortellini is ready to go. If you’re using refrigerated tortellini, allow it to come to room temperature; this enhances its tenderness and reduces cooking time.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large sauté pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sliced onion, frying until it becomes translucent and slightly caramelized, releasing its sweet aroma.
- Cook the Steak: Introduce the cubed beef steak into the pan, spreading it evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Allow the steak to sear undisturbed for about 2 minutes to create a beautifully browned exterior. Stir and continue cooking until the steak is cooked through yet tender.
- Build the Flavor Base: Pour in 1 cup of beef broth and add 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. Let the liquid come to a simmer, utilizing a wooden spoon to scrape any flavorful bits stuck to the bottom, which melds the tastes together.
- Add the Tortellini: Gently introduce the cheese tortellini to the pan. Stir carefully, ensuring even distribution under the rich, savory sauce. Allow it to mingle with the beef and onions for about 3 minutes, absorbing their flavors.
- Create the Sauce: Lower the heat and scatter the shredded provolone cheese over the mixture. Stir steadily until the cheese is thoroughly melted and the sauce acquires a creamy consistency, cloaking the tortellini luxuriously.
- Finish and Serve: Once the provolone sauce is smooth and creamy, remove the dish from heat. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly ground pepper or parsley, if desired. Enjoy each bite of tender steak, cheesy tortellini, and luscious sauce.
