Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb cheese tortellini
- 1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Optional: Crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat
Instructions
- Cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the steak and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add butter and sauté the onions and bell peppers until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Stir in the provolone cheese and Parmesan cheese, allowing them to melt and create a smooth, creamy sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
- Add the cooked steak back into the skillet, stirring to combine. Then, add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, tossing everything together until well-coated in the sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- You can substitute the ribeye steak with flank steak or sirloin if preferred.
- For extra richness, add a bit more cream or cheese as desired.
- Serve with a side of garlic bread for a complete meal.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add more crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
