- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion – Thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper – Sliced
- 2 cloves garlic – Minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the Creamy Cheese Sauce:
- 1 cup beef broth – Adds rich flavor

- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese – Classic cheesesteak cheese
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
For Garnish:

Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Tortellini
Boil the cheese tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Sear the Steak
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sirloin steak and cook until browned on all sides (3-4 minutes). Remove and set aside.
Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add onions, red bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Step 4: Season & Deglaze the Pan
Sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well. Pour in beef broth and simmer for 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan.
Step 5: Make the Creamy Cheese Sauce
Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream. Cook for 2 minutes, then add shredded provolone, stirring until melted.
Step 6: Combine Everything
Add the cooked steak and tortellini back into the skillet. Toss everything to coat well in the creamy provolone sauce. Simmer for 3 minutes to let flavors meld.
Step 7: Bake for Extra Cheesiness (Optional!)
Transfer to a baking dish and broil for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Step 8: Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes (if desired). Serve warm!
