Instructions

1. Cook the Beef & Veggies

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced beef and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté onions, peppers, and garlic until soft. Return the beef to the skillet and stir to combine.

2. Cook the Tortellini

While the beef cooks, boil the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

3. Make the Provolone Sauce

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
Gradually add milk, whisking constantly until smooth.
Stir in shredded provolone and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

4. Combine Everything

Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet with the beef and veggies.
Pour the provolone sauce over everything and stir to coat.

5. Serve & Enjoy

Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Use High-Quality Cheese: Freshly shredded provolone melts better than pre-packaged.
Thinly Slice the Beef: If using steak, slice it thinly for the best texture.
Don’t Overcook the Tortellini: Cook until just al dente to keep it from getting mushy.
