1 tbsp olive oil
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 small onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: red pepper flakes, parsley for garnish
Cook tortellini according to package directions; drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté sliced steak until browned; remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add bell pepper and onion. Cook until tender. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute more.
Add butter, then stir in flour to make a roux. Gradually whisk in milk and cook until thickened.
Stir in provolone cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
Return steak and tortellini to the skillet. Toss to coat in the sauce.
Garnish and serve warm.
For extra flavor, use shaved ribeye.
Add mushrooms or hot peppers for variation.
Works well with frozen tortellini too.
