What Makes This Cheesesteak Tortellini Unique?

What sets this dish apart is the rich, creamy provolone sauce that wraps around each bite of tortellini and beef.

The result is a one-pan meal that’s comforting, satisfying, and sure to leave you craving more.

Prepping Ingredients Made Simple

For restaurant-quality results, ingredient prep matters. Get uniform veggie pieces by running your onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms through the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. This helps everything cook evenly and saves you serious time on chopping.

Choose a high-quality refrigerated or frozen cheese tortellini for the best texture. Thick-sliced deli provolone melts perfectly, offering that classic Philly cheesesteak flavor in a sauce.

Cooking the Cheesesteak Tortellini

Use a heavy bottomed skillet such as the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch to sear your steak for even browning and easy cleanup. As you brown the steak and caramelize the veggies, the flavors deepen, forming the base for the creamy sauce.

Gradually melt the provolone with a splash of cream to achieve a luscious, velvety texture. Gently fold in the cooked tortellini until fully coated. A quick toss with shredded provolone over the top before serving gives that signature gooey cheesesteak pull.

Effortless Storage, Serving & Meal Prep

This dish is as great for meal prep as it is for serving at the dinner table. Use Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 to portion leftovers for a simple grab-and-go lunch, ensuring your meal stays fresh and reheats beautifully.
