Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Steak
- Season the thinly sliced steak with onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak in batches, cooking for 2–3 minutes per side or until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Vegetables
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the bell peppers and onion over medium heat until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5–7 minutes.
- Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside with the steak.
Step 3: Make the Provolone Sauce
- Lower the heat to medium. Melt the butter in the skillet, then whisk in the flour to form a roux. Cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly.
- Gradually add the milk and heavy cream, whisking to combine. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Stir in the provolone and mozzarella cheeses until melted and smooth. Add ground mustard, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: Cook the Tortellini
- While preparing the sauce, cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 5: Combine Everything
- Return the steak and vegetables to the skillet with the provolone sauce. Stir gently to coat.
- Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss until evenly combined. Heat through for 2–3 minutes.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional shredded cheese if desired.
