Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound beef steak, cubed
- 1 package (12 ounces/340 grams) cheese tortellini
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 large onion, sliced
Liquids and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Prepare tortellini according to package instructions, ensuring they are al dente and carefully drained to prevent overcooking.
- Warm olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium temperature, gently sautéing onions until they become translucent and softened.
- Elevate the heat to medium-high and introduce cubed beef steak, seasoning generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Sear the meat thoroughly, stirring occasionally to achieve an even, rich golden-brown exterior that locks in robust flavor.
- Pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, creating a savory liquid base that will enhance the meat’s depth.
- Allow the mixture to simmer, reducing liquid and concentrating flavors for approximately 5 minutes, stirring intermittently.
- Lower the heat and introduce cooked tortellini, carefully folding the pasta into the beef mixture to ensure complete coating.
- Generously distribute provolone cheese across the surface, covering the skillet to facilitate quick, even melting.
- Once the cheese transforms into a luxurious, creamy blanket, remove from heat and serve immediately.
- Optional: Garnish with additional cheese shavings for an extra indulgent presentation.
Notes
- Always choose high-quality, thinly sliced beef steak for the most tender and flavorful result.
- Drain tortellini thoroughly to prevent watery sauce and ensure a rich, creamy consistency.
- Consider using low-sodium beef broth to control salt levels and enhance the natural beef flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular tortellini with gluten-free cheese tortellini and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free certified.
