Main Ingredients
- 1 package cheese tortellini 20 oz
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb beef sirloin thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 onion sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
For the Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- ½ cup shredded provolone cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Cook the Beef and Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add sliced green bell pepper, sliced onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside with the beef.
Make the Provolone Sauce
In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
Whisk in all-purpose flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux (thickening agent).
Gradually pour in the whole milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Stir until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in shredded provolone cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese melts smoothly into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine and Serve
Add the cooked tortellini, browned beef, and sautéed vegetables into the creamy provolone sauce. Stir gently to combine and coat the ingredients in the sauce.
Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy hot. Garnish with fresh parsley or additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
