Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (12 oz) cheese tortellini
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 lb beef steak, cubed (ribeye or sirloin recommended)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
- Cook the tortellini:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Caramelize the onions:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add sliced onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned.
- Cook the beef:
- Add cubed steak to the skillet with the onions. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
- Make the sauce:
- Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, then sprinkle in shredded provolone cheese. Stir until melted and smooth.
- Combine and serve:
- Gently fold in the cooked tortellini, coating them evenly with the sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra cheese or fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, use ribeye steak or thinly sliced sirloin.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp cold water and stir it in while simmering.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days (reheat with a splash of broth to keep the sauce creamy).
