Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Tortellini

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Beef

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef (or shaved steak) until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add olive oil or butter and sauté the onions and bell peppers until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4: Build the Sauce

Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and beef broth, stirring to combine.
Add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 5: Combine Everything

Stir in the cooked tortellini and mix until well coated.
Sprinkle in the shredded provolone or mozzarella, stirring until melted and creamy.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Remove from heat, garnish with extra cheese or fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot!

Notes

If you want a bolder flavor, add mushrooms or swap out provolone for smoked gouda.
For a cheesier dish, add extra cheese on top and broil for 2 minutes.
Want a bit of crunch? Serve with crispy breadcrumbs or crushed potato chips.
