The classic cheesesteak traces its roots back to Philadelphia, where it was first created in the 1930s. Legend has it that Pat Olivieri, a hot dog vendor, decided to grille some beef on his cart one day. The aroma drew in customers, and soon, the cheesesteak was born. Over the decades, this simple yet satisfying sandwich has evolved, with various toppings and bread choices appearing, but the core ingredients remain the same: thinly sliced beef, cheese (often Cheez Whiz, provolone, or American), and sautéed onions.

Ingredients
  

12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups heavy cream

1 ½ cups provolone cheese, shredded

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

      Cook the Steak: Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced steak. Season with salt and pepper, and add Worcestershire sauce. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the steak is browned and cooked to your liking. Mix everything together in the skillet.

        Make the Provolone Sauce: Lower the heat to medium-low, and pour in the heavy cream. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened. Gradually stir in the provolone cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

          Combine Tortellini and Sauce: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and gently toss to coat in the rich provolone sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing everything to heat through.

            Serve: Remove from heat, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately for a comforting and indulgent meal.
