Ingredients

For the Steak & Veggies:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

For the Pasta & Sauce:

  • 1 (20 oz) package cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra depth)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

For Garnish (Optional):

  • Chopped fresh parsley
  • Extra shredded cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Steak

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the thinly sliced steak, season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.
  3. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

  1. In the same skillet, add the onions and bell peppers.
  2. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce

  1. Pour in beef broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  2. Add heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Italian seasoning, stirring well.
  3. Let the sauce cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 4: Cook the Tortellini

  1. Add the tortellini directly into the sauce. Cover and let it cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
  2. If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of extra broth or cream.

Step 5: Add Cheese & Steak

  1. Stir in shredded provolone (or mozzarella) and Parmesan cheese, letting it melt into the sauce.
  2. Add the cooked steak back into the pan and stir to combine.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy

  • Garnish with fresh parsley and extra cheese if desired.
  • Serve hot and enjoy this Philly cheesesteak-inspired pasta with a side of garlic bread or a crisp salad!

Tips for the Best Philly Cheesesteak Tortellini

Use high-quality steak like ribeye or sirloin for the best flavor.
Don’t overcook the tortellini—it should be tender but not mushy.
For a cheesier dish, add a slice of provolone on top before serving.
