Fresh parsley is optional for garnish.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0Instructions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook the Tortellini<\/h3>\n<p>Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions until <strong>al dente<\/strong>. Drain and set aside.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Cook the Steak<\/h3>\n<p>Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over <strong>medium-high heat<\/strong>. Add the thinly sliced steak in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and cook for <strong>2\u20133 minutes<\/strong>, just until browned. Avoid overcooking to keep the steak tender.<\/p>\n<p>Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 3: Saut\u00e9 the Vegetables<\/h3>\n<p>In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Let it simmer for <strong>2\u20133 minutes<\/strong> to slightly reduce.<\/p>\n<p>Stir in the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Reduce heat to <strong>medium-low<\/strong> and simmer gently for <strong>3\u20134 minutes<\/strong>, until slightly thickened.<\/p>\n<p>Gradually add the shredded provolone cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Combine Everything<\/h3>\n<p>Add the cooked tortellini and the steak back into the skillet. Gently toss everything together until well coated in the rich provolone sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Cook for an additional <strong>2 minutes<\/strong>, just until heated through.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 6: Serve<\/h3>\n<p>Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
