Ingredients
Steak and Vegetables
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 package (4 count) Philly Sirloin Steaks
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- ½ yellow onion, sliced
- 1 ½ teaspoons Montreal steak seasoning
Pasta and Sauce
- 1 bag (19 ounces) frozen cheese tortellini
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
- Heat the Pan: In a large sauté pan, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high heat. This will prepare the pan for cooking the steaks and vegetables evenly.
- Cook Steaks and Veggies: Add the Philly sirloin steaks to one side of the pan. On the other side, add the sliced green bell pepper and yellow onion. Sprinkle 1 ½ teaspoons Montreal steak seasoning over both the steaks and vegetables. Cook the steaks according to package instructions while allowing the peppers and onions to become crisp-tender. Stir to combine steaks and vegetables once they are cooked.
- Add Tortellini and Cream: Add the frozen 19-ounce cheese tortellini and 1 pint heavy cream into the pan with the steak and veggies. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the tortellini is cooked through.
- Melt the Cheese: Once the tortellini is cooked, sprinkle 1 cup shredded provolone cheese over the pasta. Replace the lid and let it heat just long enough for the cheese to melt thoroughly. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Be careful not to overcook the steaks; follow the package directions to ensure tenderness.
- Stir occasionally during simmering to prevent tortellini from sticking to the pan.
- For extra flavor, you can add minced garlic when sautéing the vegetables.
- This dish can be customized by using different types of cheese or adding mushrooms.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and gently reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
