Ingredients
Scale

- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 package (20 oz) cheese tortellini
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Tortellini: Cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

- Melt the Cheese: Stir in the shredded provolone and mozzarella cheese until melted and well combined.
- Combine Everything: Add the cooked tortellini and browned beef back to the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
