Preparation Time:
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 package of cheese-filled tortellini (about 20-24 tortellini)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye or top round steak
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Boil the Tortellini: Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese-filled tortellini and cook according to the package instructions until they float to the surface and are tender (usually about 2-4 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Steak and Vegetables: While the tortellini is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced onion and cook until softened and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Cook the Steak: Add the thinly sliced ribeye or top round steak to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until the steak is browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Ensure the steak is evenly cooked and tender.
- Make the Sauce: Sprinkle the tablespoon of all-purpose flour over the cooked steak mixture. Stir well to coat the steak and onions with the flour, then pour in the beef broth. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. This will create a creamy and flavorful base for your Philly cheesesteak tortellini.
- Combine the Tortellini with the Sauce: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet with the steak and sauce. Toss gently to combine, making sure the tortellini is coated with the delicious sauce.
- Add the Cheese: Lower the heat to medium and sprinkle the grated cheddar and Parmesan cheese over the pasta. Stir until the cheese melts into the sauce, creating a creamy and cheesy coating for the tortellini and steak.
- Final Touches: Once everything is well-combined, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. For a fresh, flavorful finish, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving.
Serving:
Serve the Philly Cheesesteak Tortellini Pasta warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired. It pairs wonderfully with a simple side salad or garlic bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
