Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Neutral oil (sunflower, canola, or vegetable)
  • 1 lb Thinly shaved beef steak (ensure it's thin for fast cooking)
  • 1 Onion, peeled and diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal; halve if using Morton's)
  • ½ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup Chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon Smooth Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup Milk
  • 8 oz Provolone cheese, torn into pieces
  • 4 oz American cheese
  • 1 pound Cheese tortellini, cooked al dente
  • Fresh parsley, as garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil: Heat your neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  2. Sauté onion: Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3–4 minutes, to develop sweetness and flavor.
  3. Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Brown beef: Add the shaved beef steak, season with kosher salt and black pepper, and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  5. Add liquids and mustard: Pour in the chicken stock and stir in the Dijon mustard, combining well to create the base for the creamy sauce.
  6. Cook tortellini: Add the cooked cheese tortellini to the skillet and stir to incorporate with the beef mixture.
  7. Add dairy: Pour in the milk, then add torn provolone and American cheese pieces, stirring continuously until the cheeses melt fully and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
  8. Simmer and thicken: Allow the mixture to simmer gently over medium-low heat for a few minutes until the sauce thickens and the tortellini is heated through.
  9. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the beef is thinly shaved for quick cooking and tender texture.
  • Use freshly cooked tortellini, cooked al dente, to prevent overcooking when mixed with the sauce.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste after adding the cheese to balance flavors.
  • Substitute provolone with mozzarella or fontina for a different cheese profile if desired.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
