Instructions

Instructions

  1. Cook the Tortellini
    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to the package directions until al dente.
    • Drain the tortellini and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to keep them from sticking. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Cheesesteak Filling
    • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Add the sliced beef, onions, and green bell peppers. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, and cook while stirring frequently until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender.
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set the mixture aside.
  3. Make the Provolone Sauce
    • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to form a smooth roux.
    • Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens.
    • Lower the heat and stir in the shredded provolone cheese and Italian seasoning. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
    • Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine and Serve
    • In the skillet with the cheesesteak filling, add the cooked tortellini and the provolone sauce. Gently toss to ensure the tortellini and filling are evenly coated with the sauce.
    • Warm everything through on low heat.
    • Serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional shredded provolone and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
