It adds a rich, cheesy base. Next, we have beef sirloin. It provides a meaty flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients. Olive oil helps sauté the veggies and adds a nice touch. Onions bring sweetness to the mix. Green and red bell peppers add color and crunch. Garlic gives a strong flavor that enhances the dish. We use beef broth for a savory sauce. Cream cheese makes the sauce creamy and smooth. Worcestershire sauce adds a tangy kick. Provolone cheese melts well and adds depth. Finally, salt and pepper season the dish perfectly. Fresh parsley gives it a bright finish. This combination creates a tasty meal that is sure to impress! {{ingredient_image_1}} To start, boil a large pot of salted water. The salt helps add flavor to the tortellini. Once the water boils, add 12 ounces of cheese tortellini. Cook it according to the package instructions, usually around 5-7 minutes. Test a piece to ensure it’s tender. Drain the tortellini and set it aside while you prepare the other ingredients. Use a large skillet for this step. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions, green bell peppers, and red bell peppers. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes. The goal is to make the veggies tender while keeping some crunch. Stir them often for even cooking. For the beef, thinly slice 1 pound of beef sirloin. Make sure to slice against the grain for a tender bite. Add the beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Pour in 1 cup of beef broth and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. Allow this mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes. Next, add 1 cup of softened cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese melts and mixes in evenly. This will create a rich and creamy sauce, perfect for your dish. Now, add the cooked tortellini into the skillet with the cheesesteak mixture. Gently toss everything together. You want to coat the tortellini well with the sauce. Look for visual cues, like the tortellini being evenly covered and warmed through. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in 1 cup of shredded provolone cheese until it melts. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. The parsley adds a nice pop of color and freshness to your dish. Enjoy this tasty and hearty meal! Using the right cheese is key. I love provolone for its creamy texture and rich taste. You can also try mozzarella or even a mix for more flavor. For broth, use low-sodium beef broth for a nice base. You might add a splash of red wine or some steak sauce to boost the taste. Prep your ingredients in advance. Slice your beef and chop your veggies early. This makes cooking faster and easier. You can also cook the tortellini while you sauté the vegetables. This way, you save time and keep things moving. For refrigeration, let the dish cool down before storing. Use an airtight container to keep it fresh. When reheating, add a splash of broth to help keep the texture nice. Heat it gently on the stove or in the microwave. This way, your dish stays creamy and delicious. Pro Tips Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and high-quality beef will enhance the flavor of your dish significantly. Customize Your Cheese: Feel free to mix different cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar for a unique flavor profile. Don’t Overcook the Beef: Since the beef is thinly sliced, it cooks quickly. Remove it from heat as soon as it’s browned to keep it tender. Add Heat if Desired: For a spicy kick, consider adding chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to your cheesesteak mixture. {{image_2}} For a vegetarian twist on this dish, you can replace the beef. Use mushrooms or tempeh as great meat alternatives. Both give a hearty texture. You can also add more vegetables. Try zucchini, spinach, or cherry tomatoes for extra color and flavor. These options make the dish flavorful and healthy. If you like heat, add some spice! You can include jalapeños for a fresh kick. Slice them thin and toss them in with the onions and peppers. Hot sauce is another fun option. Just drizzle in a few drops while cooking. Adjust the amount to suit your taste. This adds a nice zing to the creamy sauce. Cheese can change the whole flavor of this dish. Provolone is classic, but feel free to switch it up. Try mozzarella for a milder taste or pepper jack for heat. You can also mix different cheeses for depth. When melting cheese, stir it in off the heat. This helps it melt smoothly without clumping. To keep your Philly Cheesesteak Tortellini Pasta fresh, use airtight containers. Glass or plastic containers work great. Make sure they seal well to keep out air. You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days. This helps keep the flavors intact. If you want to save this dish for later, freezing is a good option. Let the pasta cool completely before freezing. Portion it into containers, but leave some space for expansion. You can freeze it for up to three months. To thaw, place it in the fridge overnight. Reheat it on low heat in a skillet or the microwave. Add a splash of broth to keep it creamy and moist. Yes, you can use other pasta shapes. Bowtie, penne, or shells work great. Each type gives a unique texture. Just remember to cook them according to the package. You can use Greek yogurt or sour cream for a lighter option. For dairy-free, try cashew cream or coconut cream. These options give a nice creamy texture. Choose gluten-free tortellini or any gluten-free pasta. Many brands offer good alternatives. Always check the label to ensure it's certified gluten-free.
