Equipment
- 1 large pot or Dutch oven
- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 pound beef steak, thinly sliced such as sirloin or ribeye
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 pound cheese tortellini fresh or frozen
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated provolone cheese

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and green bell pepper, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the thinly sliced beef steak to the pot, season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the cheese tortellini, beef broth, and heavy cream to the pot. Stir to combine well.
- Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tortellini are cooked through and tender.
- Stir in the grated provolone cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
Feel free to customize the dish by adding other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach. For a spicier kick, consider adding sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave before serving. If you can't find provolone cheese, mozzarella or a combination of both will also work.
