Cooking Instructions
  1. Cook the Tortellini: Boil salted water, add tortellini, and cook until they float, about 3-5 minutes. Drain and reserve ½ cup pasta water.
  2. Sear the Ribeye Steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear steak for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and let rest before slicing.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté onion and bell peppers until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.
  4. Create the Sauce Base: Add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom for flavor. Stir in Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt.
  5. Add Cream and Cheese: Drizzle in heavy cream and stir in provolone cheese until melted. Use reserved pasta water to adjust thickness if needed.
  6. Combine Steak and Tortellini: Mix sliced steak into the sauce and gently fold in cooked tortellini. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, garnished with parsley and red pepper flakes.
