Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package (about 9–12 oz) fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
  • 8 oz thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese

Cooking Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Thinly slice the beef steak and vegetables, mince the garlic, and measure out the cream and cheeses. Preparing everything beforehand will make cooking smoother and faster.
  2. Cook the Beef and Vegetables: Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook until just browned, then remove and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté onions, bell peppers, and garlic until soft and fragrant.
  3. Boil the Tortellini: While the vegetables cook, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  4. Make the Cheese Sauce: Reduce skillet heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream. Gradually stir in cheddar and provolone cheeses, melting gently while stirring constantly until a smooth sauce forms. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste.
  5. Combine Everything: Add the cooked steak and tortellini into the cheese sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy, savory mixture. Warm together for a couple of minutes and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot in bowls garnished with chopped parsley or green onions if desired. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy, and hearty Philly Cheesesteak Tortellini Pasta.

Notes

  • Use quality, fresh, thinly sliced steak for best tenderness and flavor.
  • Do not overcook tortellini; aim for al dente to maintain texture when mixed with sauce.
  • Melt cheeses slowly over medium heat to avoid clumping and ensure a smooth sauce.
  • Season throughout the cooking process, tasting regularly to build balanced flavors.
  • Reserve a small amount of pasta water to thin out the sauce if it becomes too thick.
