Ingredients
Scale
Protein & Vegetables
- 1 package (4 count) Philly Sirloin Steaks
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- ½ yellow onion, sliced
Seasonings & Oil
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons Montreal steak seasoning
Pasta & Dairy
- 1 bag (19 ounces) frozen cheese tortellini
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
- Heat the Pan: In a large sauté pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. This ensures the pan is ready for cooking the steak and vegetables evenly.
- Cook Steaks and Veggies: Add the Philly sirloin steaks to one side of the pan. On the other side, add the sliced green bell pepper and yellow onion. Sprinkle 1 ½ teaspoons of Montreal steak seasoning over both the steaks and vegetables. Cook the steaks according to package instructions while allowing the peppers and onions to become crisp-tender. Stir to combine steaks and vegetables once cooked.
- Add Tortellini and Cream: Add the frozen 19-ounce cheese tortellini and 1 pint of heavy cream into the pan with the steak and veggies. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the tortellini is fully cooked.
- Melt the Cheese: Once the tortellini is cooked, sprinkle 1 cup shredded provolone cheese evenly over the pasta. Replace the lid and let it heat just long enough for the cheese to melt completely. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use a large sauté pan to allow sufficient room for cooking steak and vegetables side by side.
- Stir occasionally during simmering to prevent tortellini from sticking to the pan.
- For extra flavor, consider adding garlic or fresh herbs like parsley when cooking vegetables.
- Adjust Montreal steak seasoning quantity to taste if preferred less salty or spicy.
- This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or crusty bread.
