Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (20 oz) cheese tortellini
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- ½ cup shredded provolone cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the tortellini according to package instructions; drain well.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the thinly sliced beef until browned on all sides (about 5 minutes). Remove from skillet.
- In the same skillet, sauté sliced bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic until softened (5-7 minutes).
- In a separate saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and whisk in flour for about a minute to create a roux. Gradually add whole milk while whisking continuously until thickened (3-4 minutes). Stir in provolone and Parmesan cheeses until melted.

- Serve hot with optional garnishes like parsley or additional cheese.
