Description
One-Pan Cheesesteak Tortellini Skillet with Beef & Provolone offers a delightful fusion of flavors. This dish combines classic cheesesteak elements with cheesy tortellini in one easy skillet.
Ingredients
- thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin beef
- yellow onions
- green bell peppers
- sliced mushrooms (optional)
- fresh or refrigerated cheese tortellini
- sliced provolone cheese
- beef broth
- cream cheese or heavy cream
- Worcestershire sauce
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- salt
- black pepper
- red pepper flakes (optional)
- canola or vegetable oil
- butter (optional)
Instructions
- If your beef isn’t already shaved, place it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to firm up, then slice it against the grain as thinly as possible. Chop your yellow onion and bell peppers into thin strips. If using mushrooms, slice those too. Have your beef broth, provolone, and tortellini ready to go.
- Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over high heat with a tablespoon of oil until shimmering. Add about half of your thinly sliced beef in a single layer. Cook quickly for 1-2 minutes per side, just until browned and cooked through. Remove the cooked beef to a plate, leaving any drippings in the pan. Repeat with the remaining beef if necessary, then set all the cooked beef aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add another tablespoon of oil or a knob of butter to the skillet. Toss in your sliced onions and bell peppers (and mushrooms, if using). Sauté for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and the onions are translucent and slightly caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and a generous crack of black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer. If you’re using cream cheese, whisk it into the simmering broth until fully melted and smooth. If using heavy cream, stir it in now.
- Add the fresh or frozen cheese tortellini directly into the simmering sauce in the skillet. Stir gently to ensure all the tortellini are submerged in the liquid. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 5-8 minutes, or according to your tortellini package directions, until the tortellini is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the tortellini is cooked, return the seared beef to the skillet. Gently stir to combine the beef, tortellini, and vegetables evenly throughout the rich sauce. Arrange the slices of provolone cheese over the entire surface of the skillet.
- Cover the skillet again, or if your skillet is oven-safe, pop it under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the provolone is beautifully melted, bubbly, and slightly golden in spots.
- Remove from heat. Let it rest for just a minute or two, then dish out generous portions of your incredible Cheesesteak Tortellini Skillet With Provolone. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
