Ingredients
Scale
For the Pasta
- 12 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
For the Filling
- 8 oz steak strips
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
For the Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 oz provolone cheese, sliced or shredded
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for cooking)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving a small amount of pasta water.
- Sauté the Steak and Onions: While the tortellini cooks, heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the steak to a plate. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté until they become soft and caramelized, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Return the steak to the pan with the onions.
- Prepare the Cream Sauce and Combine: Lower the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the steak and onions. Add the provolone cheese and stir until melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the drained tortellini to the skillet, tossing gently to coat everything evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
Notes
- Use fresh or refrigerated tortellini for the best texture.
- Be careful not to overcook the steak to retain tenderness.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or fresh herbs such as parsley.
- If provolone is unavailable, mozzarella cheese can be used as a substitute.
- This dish can be prepared ahead and reheated gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream or milk.
