Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 4 slices Philly sirloin steak
- 19 ounces (540 grams) refrigerated cheese tortellini
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 teaspoons steak seasoning
Dairy and Oil:
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 pint (473 milliliters) half and half
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
- Slice steak into delicate, uniform strips and chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces for even cooking and presentation.
- Heat skillet over medium-high heat and sear steak strips with bell peppers and onions, seasoning generously. Cook until meat reaches desired doneness and vegetables soften, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Introduce tortellini to the skillet, pouring half and half over the ingredients. Bring mixture to a robust boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 10 minutes, allowing pasta to absorb flavors and become tender.
- Carefully layer provolone cheese across the skillet’s surface, covering with lid to encourage melting. Let cheese transform into a creamy, golden blanket over the dish, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the skillet rest for 2 minutes, allowing sauce to thicken and ingredients to integrate. Serve immediately while cheese remains gooey and ingredients are steaming hot.
Notes
- Slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
- Use high heat when sautéing steak to create a beautiful golden-brown exterior while keeping the inside juicy.
- Choose fresh tortellini from the refrigerated section for superior flavor and texture compared to dried versions.
- Swap half and half with Greek yogurt or light cream to reduce calories without sacrificing creamy richness.
