Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente, approximately 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add thinly sliced beef sirloin and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove beef and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed, then toss in sliced green bell pepper and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat.
- In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour for about 1 minute to form a roux.
- Slowly add 2 cups of whole milk to the roux, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
- Stir in 1 cup of shredded provolone cheese and ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until cheeses melt completely and sauce is smooth.
- Fold the cooked tortellini, sautéed beef, and vegetable mixture into the cheese sauce until evenly combined.
- Serve hot, garnished with parsley or extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
