Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag frozen cheese-stuffed tortellini 19-ounce
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pack of Philly Angus Steaks 4-count
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Montreal steak rub
  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella provolone blend
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

Method
 

Step 1: Cook the Tortellini
  1. Start by boiling a pot of water. Once it’s bubbling, add the frozen cheese-stuffed tortellini. Cook according to the package instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Steak and Vegetables
  1. While the tortellini cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and diced green pepper. Sauté until they become tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
    Once the veggies are ready, push them to one side of the skillet. Add the Angus steaks to the other side.
    Sprinkle with Montreal steak rub. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the beef is browned and cooked to your liking.
Step 3: Create the Sauce
  1. After you’ve cooked the steak and veggies, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Bring it to a simmer. The cream will soften the robust flavors. Stir in the shredded mozzarella provolone blend until melted and smooth.
Step 4: Combine Everything
  1. Next, add the drained tortellini into the skillet. Gently toss everything together until each piece is coated in the creamy sauce. Drizzle in the balsamic vinegar for that extra zing.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
  1. Just before serving, toss in the chopped fresh basil. It adds a fresh note that contrasts the richness of the dish. Serve it hot, and get ready to hear some “yum” noises from your guests!

Notes

  • Use fresh veggies. While frozen works, fresh peppers and onions give more flavor.
  • Add spice. If you like heat, consider adding diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Don’t overcook the beef. You want it tender, not tough.
  • Try different proteins. Chicken or even grilled mushrooms can be a tasty alternative.
  • Save leftovers. This dish can taste even better the next day after the flavors meld!
