Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the tortellini according to package instructions until they float, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sear the thinly sliced steak for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove and cover with foil.
  3. Sauté chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic in the same skillet for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are soft.
  4. Add beef broth to the skillet, scraping browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Gradually add provolone cheese, stirring until it melts and the sauce is smooth.
  7. Return the seared steak to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly with the sauce.
  8. Gently fold in the cooked tortellini, ensuring they are well-coated.
  9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
