Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Pasta:
- 1 lb (454 grams) thinly sliced beef steak (like sirloin or ribeye)
- 1 lb (454 grams) cheese tortellini
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 8 ounces (227 grams) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Liquids and Seasonings:
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Boil the tortellini in a large pot of salted water according to the package instructions, ensuring a tender yet firm texture. Carefully drain the pasta and set aside in a warm location.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with of olive oil. Slice the beef steak into thin strips and sear until a rich golden-brown color develops, approximately 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer the cooked beef to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers, diced onions, chopped mushrooms, and minced garlic. Sauté the vegetables until they become soft and slightly caramelized, releasing their aromatic flavors, about 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the taste.
- Reintroduce the seared beef to the vegetable mixture. Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and low-sodium soy sauce. Allow the ingredients to simmer and meld together for 2-3 minutes, creating a rich, savory sauce.
- Gently fold the cooked tortellini into the beef and vegetable mixture, ensuring each pasta pocket is generously coated with the flavorful sauce. Sprinkle shredded provolone cheese evenly across the top of the dish.
- Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low, letting the cheese melt completely and become wonderfully gooey, approximately 2-4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and additional flavor. Serve immediately while hot and bubbling.
