INGREDIENTS:
Regarding the Tortellini:
One pound of fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
One tablespoon of olive oil
Regarding the Cheesesteak Component:
One pound of thinly sliced beef steak (sirloin or ribeye)
One tablespoon of olive oil
One large onion, cut into slices
One sliced green bell pepper
To taste, add salt and pepper.
Regarding Provolone Sauce:
two tsp butter
Two tablespoons of flour (all-purpose)
two glasses of milk
One cup of provolone cheese, shredded
To taste, add salt and pepper.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare the tortellini:
Cook the tortellini as directed on the package until they are al dente. To avoid sticking, drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Put aside.
To make the cheesesteak filling, heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the green pepper, onion, and sliced meat. Cook until the veggies are soft and the beef is browned, stirring often. Add pepper and salt for seasoning. Put aside.
Prepare the sauce with provolone:
Melt butter in a pot over a medium heat. To make a roux, whisk in the flour. Add milk gradually while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Cooking the sauce further will cause it to thicken. After lowering the heat to low, whisk in the provolone cheese shreds until they are melted and smooth. Add pepper and salt for seasoning.
Mix and present:
In the skillet, mix the cooked tortellini, provolone sauce, and cheesesteak filling. Gently toss to distribute the sauce evenly over the tortellini and stuffing.
Once heated through, serve right away with extra provolone on top, if preferred.
