Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 package (4 count) Philly Sirloin Steaks
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- ½ yellow onion, sliced
- 1 ½ teaspoons Montreal steak seasoning
Pasta and Dairy
- 1 bag (19 ounces) frozen cheese tortellini
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
- Heat the Pan: In a large sauté pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the steaks and vegetables evenly.
- Cook Steaks and Veggies: Add the Philly sirloin steaks to one side of the pan and the sliced green bell pepper and yellow onion to the other side. Sprinkle 1 ½ teaspoons of Montreal steak seasoning over both the steaks and vegetables. Cook the steaks as per package instructions, while allowing the peppers and onions to become crisp-tender. Stir to combine the steaks and vegetables once cooked.
- Add Tortellini and Cream: Add the frozen 19-ounce cheese tortellini and 1 pint of heavy cream into the pan with the steak and veggies. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking until the tortellini is cooked through.
- Melt the Cheese: Once the tortellini is cooked, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded provolone cheese over the pasta. Replace the lid and let it heat just long enough for the cheese to melt thoroughly. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use Montreal steak seasoning for authentic flavor, but you can substitute with a blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika if needed.
- Make sure to stir occasionally while simmering to prevent the tortellini from sticking to the pan.
- This dish is best served fresh to enjoy the melted cheese and creamy texture.
- You can add mushrooms or other vegetables for extra flavor and nutrition.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, though the sauce will be less rich.
