Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Meat:
- 1 pound beef steak, cubed
- 1 package (12 oz/340 g) cheese tortellini
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Liquids and Cheese:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
- Prepare tortellini according to package instructions, ensuring they are al dente. Carefully drain and reserve to the side.
- Warm olive oil in a spacious skillet over moderate temperature, introducing chopped onions and sautéing until they become translucent and softened.
- Elevate the heat to medium-high, introducing cubed beef steak into the pan. Generously season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, allowing the meat to develop a rich, golden-brown exterior.
- Pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, creating a flavorful liquid base. Simmer the mixture, allowing the ingredients to meld and intensify for approximately 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, gently incorporating the cooked tortellini into the beef mixture. Carefully toss to ensure even coating and distribution of flavors.
- Generously scatter provolone cheese across the top of the dish, creating a blanket of melting goodness. Cover the skillet and allow the cheese to transform into a luxurious, molten layer.
- Transfer the aromatic creation to serving plates, offering an optional sprinkle of additional provolone for cheese enthusiasts who desire extra indulgence.
Notes
- Customize tortellini choice by selecting cheese, meat, or spinach varieties to match personal preferences.
- Tenderize beef steak by pounding it gently before cubing to ensure a softer, more succulent texture.
- Use low-sodium beef broth to control salt levels and prevent the dish from becoming too salty.
- For a gluten-free version, replace traditional tortellini with gluten-free alternatives and verify all ingredient labels.
