Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound thinly sliced beef steak
- 1 package (12 ounces / 340 grams) cheese tortellini
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
Liquids and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Prepare tortellini according to package instructions, then drain and set aside, ensuring they remain warm and ready for the next step.
- Warm olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium heat, creating a perfect sautéing environment for the vegetables.
- Add sliced onions, diced bell peppers, and chopped mushrooms to the skillet, cooking until the vegetables become tender and slightly caramelized.
- Elevate the heat to medium-high and introduce the beef steak, seasoning generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor profile.
- Cook the beef until it develops a rich, golden-brown exterior, ensuring even browning and maximum flavor development.
- Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, creating a savory liquid base that will infuse the dish with depth and complexity.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for approximately 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld and concentrate.
- Reduce the heat to low and gently incorporate the cooked tortellini, tossing to ensure each pasta pocket is coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Sprinkle provolone cheese over the mixture, covering the skillet to facilitate even melting and create a creamy, indulgent finish.
- Once the cheese has fully melted and becomes gloriously stringy, remove from heat and serve immediately.
- Optional: Garnish with additional cheese for those seeking an extra layer of richness.
Notes
- Select pre-cooked tortellini to reduce overall cooking time and simplify preparation.
- Slice beef extremely thin for faster cooking and more even distribution throughout the dish.
- Use a cast-iron skillet to achieve better caramelization and deeper flavor development for vegetables and meat.
- Replace beef with plant-based protein like seitan or portobello mushrooms for a vegetarian version that maintains the classic Philly cheesesteak taste profile.
