Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 oz cheese tortellini Round, plump-filled parcels that provide a tender bite.
- 1 tbsp olive oil Adds a fruity, aromatic depth.
- 1 large onion, sliced Sweet and aromatic, caramelizes beautifully.
- 1 lb cubed beef steak Tender chunks of meat that soak up the flavors.
- 0.5 tsp salt Enhances the flavors.
- 0.25 tsp pepper Adds a gentle kick.
- 1 cup beef broth Infuses the dish with rich, meaty flavor.
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce Brings a tangy complexity.
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese Melts into a creamy pool of deliciousness.
Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare the cheese tortellini by bringing it to room temperature if refrigerated.
Cooking
- In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the cubed beef steak to the pan, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Sear the beef for about 2 minutes before stirring. Continue to cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about another 5 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Scrape the bottom of the pan to lift any browned bits.
- Introduce the cheese tortellini to the pan, stirring gently to combine. Allow it to cook for about 3 minutes until heated through.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded provolone cheese. Stir until melted and creamy.
- Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkling of ground pepper or chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
For best results, avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking the beef. Use high-quality ingredients and allow the sauce to simmer longer for richer flavors.
