🔸 Ingredients:
🍽️ For the Tortellini:
✔️ 1 lb cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen) 🧀
✔️ 1 tbsp olive oil 🫒
🍽️ For the Cheesesteak Filling:
✔️ 1 lb thinly sliced beef steak (ribeye or sirloin works well) 🥩
✔️ 1 tbsp olive oil 🫒
✔️ 1 large onion, thinly sliced 🧅
✔️ 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced 🌶️
✔️ 1 tsp Italian seasoning 🌿
✔️ Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
🍽️ For the Provolone Sauce:
✔️ 2 tbsp butter 🧈
✔️ 2 tbsp all-purpose flour 🌾
✔️ 2 cups milk 🥛
✔️ 1 cup shredded provolone cheese 🧀
✔️ 1 tsp Italian seasoning 🌿
✔️ Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
🔸 Directions:
1️⃣ Cook the Tortellini:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to the package directions until al dente.
Drain the tortellini and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to keep them from sticking. Set aside. 🍝🧀
2️⃣ Prepare the Cheesesteak Filling:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced beef, onions, and green bell peppers. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, and cook while stirring frequently until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set the mixture aside. 🥩🌶️
3️⃣ Make the Provolone Sauce:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the flour and whisk to form a smooth roux.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens.
Lower the heat and stir in the shredded provolone cheese and Italian seasoning. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. 🧀🍶
4️⃣ Combine and Serve:
In the skillet with the cheesesteak filling, add the cooked tortellini and the provolone sauce.
Gently toss to ensure the tortellini and filling are evenly coated with the sauce.
Warm everything through on low heat. 🍽️🔥
5️⃣ Serve:
Serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional shredded provolone and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. 🌿🧀
