Ingredients

• 1 package (12 oz) cheese tortellini
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 1 pound beef steak, cubed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup shredded provolone cheese

Instructions

1. Cook the tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are tender.
3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cubed beef steak to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the beef is browned.
4. Stir in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, bring it to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes.
5. Reduce the heat to low, add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, and toss everything together to combine.
6. Sprinkle the provolone cheese over the top and cover the skillet until the cheese melts.
7. Serve the dish hot, garnished with additional cheese if desired.

Helpful Tips

• Slicing the Onion: Slice the onion thinly to ensure they cook evenly and quickly.
• Browning the Beef: Make sure the beef is well browned for extra flavor. Don’t overcrowd the skillet.
• Cheese Melting: If you like a really gooey cheese topping, use a lid to cover the skillet and let the steam melt the cheese fully.

Substitutions/Variations

• Meat: Substitute the beef steak with chicken or turkey if you prefer.
• Pasta: Any pasta will work if you don’t have tortellini on hand.
• Cheese: Try mozzarella or a cheese blend instead of provolone.
