Ingredients
For the Tortellini
- 1 package 20 oz cheese tortellini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb beef sirloin thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 onion sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
For the Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 ½ cups shredded provolone cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortellini: Cook tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef sirloin and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Make the Provolone Sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Stir in provolone and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine and Serve: Add the cooked tortellini, beef, and vegetables to the cheese sauce. Stir to combine. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy hot.
Notes
- Thinly Sliced Beef: Make sure the beef is thinly sliced for quick and even cooking.
- Smooth Sauce: Stir constantly while making the sauce to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
- Don’t Overcook: Be careful not to overcook the tortellini to keep it tender and prevent it from falling apart when mixed with the sauce.
