Ingredients
1 lb sirloin steak or ribeye, thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 cup beef broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp cream cheese
20 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water (optional)
1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional)
Instructions
1. Slice the steak thinly against the grain, slice onion, and mince the garlic. Gather all ingredients.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet, sear beef in batches for 1–2 minutes until browned. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder. Set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add onions and cook until golden and caramelized, about 10–12 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
4. Deglaze pan with Worcestershire sauce and beef broth. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes. Add heavy cream and stir. Reduce heat and add cream cheese and shredded cheese. Stir until smooth.
5. Cook tortellini in salted boiling water until al dente (3–5 minutes). Drain and set aside.
6. Add beef and tortellini to sauce. Stir gently to coat. Add cornstarch slurry if needed to thicken the sauce and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan. Serve immediately.
Notes
Slice beef thinly against the grain to keep it tender.
Don’t skip caramelizing the onions—they add incredible flavor depth.
If reheating, add a splash of broth or cream to bring the sauce back to life.
