Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet for an additional minute to release its fragrance.
  4. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, add the thinly sliced ribeye steak, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until browned.
  5. Pour beef broth and heavy cream into the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and gradually add shredded provolone cheese, stirring until melted.
  6. Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, tossing everything to coat in the sauce, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, mix in different cheeses. Leftover steak can be used, and for a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes.
