Directions

Follow these steps for a creamy and cheesy pasta bake:

• Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Step 2: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced ribeye steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes until browned and reaches the desired doneness. Remove the steak and set it aside.
• Step 3: In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
• Step 4: Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
• Step 5: Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet, stirring until fully melted to create a creamy sauce. Mix in the shredded provolone and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
• Step 6: Toss the cooked tortellini into the skillet, ensuring it’s well-coated in the creamy cheese sauce. Stir in the cooked steak and sautéed veggies.
• Step 7: Transfer the tortellini mixture to a greased baking dish and top with additional shredded provolone cheese.
• Step 8: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
• Step 9: Once out of the oven, drizzle with extra provolone cheese and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot.
