Cheesesteak Tortellini in Rich Provolone Sauce

Cheesesteak Tortellini in Rich Provolone Sauce

Ingredients:

For the Tortellini:

  • 1 lb cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Cheesesteak Filling:

  • 1 lb thinly sliced beef steak (such as ribeye or sirloin)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Provolone Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Cook the Tortellini:
  • Cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente.
  • Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  1. Prepare the Cheesesteak Filling:
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sliced beef, onion, and green pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  1. Make the Provolone Sauce:
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Whisk in the flour to form a roux and cook for about 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
  • Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
  • Continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded provolone cheese until melted and smooth.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  1. Combine and Serve:
  • In the skillet with the cheesesteak filling, add the cooked tortellini and pour in the provolone sauce.
  • Toss gently to coat the tortellini and filling evenly with the sauce.
  • Heat through for a few minutes.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with additional provolone cheese if desired.

Tips for Success:

  • Thinly Slice the Beef: For easier slicing, partially freeze the steak for about 20-30 minutes before slicing.
  • Prevent Lumps in the Sauce: Ensure you whisk continuously when adding the milk to the roux to achieve a smooth, lump-free sauce.
  • Flavor Variations: Add mushrooms or substitute the green bell pepper with red or yellow bell peppers for a different flavor profile.

Serving Suggestions:

Pair this rich and hearty dish with a light side salad or some crusty garlic bread to balance the meal. A glass of red wine or a cold beer would also complement the flavors beautifully.

Enjoy this delectable Cheesesteak Tortellini in Rich Provolone Sauce for a comforting and satisfying meal!
