Ingredients

For the Tortellini:

• 1 pound cheese-filled tortellini (fresh or frozen)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Cheesesteak Filling:

• 1 pound thinly sliced beef steak (ribeye or sirloin)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Provolone Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup grated provolone cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1: Cook the Tortellini

Prepare the tortellini according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Cheesesteak Filling

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef, onion, and green pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is browned and the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Provolone Sauce

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to create a roux. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens. Reduce the heat and stir in the grated provolone cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Combine and Serve

In a large pan, combine the cooked tortellini, cheesesteak filling, and provolone sauce. Gently toss until everything is evenly coated. Heat through and serve immediately, garnished with additional provolone cheese if desired.
