Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb thinly sliced beef e.g. ribeye or sirloin cut into strips
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 medium onion thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 cup beef broth
- 8 oz provolone cheese shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped optional for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by slicing the beef into thin strips across the grain and prepare the peppers, onion, and garlic as indicated. Cook the tortellini as directed on the package until tender, then drain and set aside.
- Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and quickly brown the beef strips, seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove the beef, then sauté the onion and bell peppers in the same pan until tender before adding garlic and cooking briefly. Combine the beef back into the vegetable mix and remove from heat.
- Create a smooth flour slurry by whisking flour into a small portion of cold milk. Heat the remaining milk and beef broth until warm, then slowly add in the slurry, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and simmers. Lower heat and mix in shredded provolone with salt and pepper until melted and smooth.
- Fold the cooked tortellini and beef-vegetable mixture into the sauce gently. Serve at once with chopped parsley for garnish, or optionally transfer to a baking dish, top with extra cheese if desired, and bake at 375°F 190°C for 15 to 20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
