Description
A delicious blend of cheese or meat-filled tortellini cooked with thinly sliced beef, bell peppers, onions, and topped with melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package cheese or meat-filled tortellini
- 1 pound thinly sliced beef (like sirloin or ribeye)
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium yellow or white onion, sliced
- 1 cup provolone or Cheez Whiz
- 3 cloves fresh minced garlic
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Cook the Tortellini: Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the tortellini and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until they’re tender and slightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the Beef: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
- Create the Sauce: Pour in the beef broth and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly. This will create a flavorful sauce that coats the tortellini.
- Combine Everything: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, tossing gently to combine with the beef, peppers, and sauce. Cook for another minute or two to heat everything through.
- Add the Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle your cheese of choice over the top. Stir gently until the cheese melts and coats the pasta evenly.
- Serve: Serve the Philly Cheesesteak Tortellini Pasta hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy!
