# Instructions:
01 -
Put the tortellini right into your simmering sauce, cover it up, and let it bubble for 5-7 minutes. Stir gently here and there so it soaks up that creamy goodness.
02 -
Slide those browned beef slices back into the pan with your delicious veggies. Toss in Worcestershire sauce, some garlic and onion powders, and smoked paprika (if that’s your thing). Season everything evenly with a pinch of salt and plenty of black pepper. Let it cook together for a couple minutes.
03 -
Serve it hot and tasty! Toss on fresh parsley, Parmesan sprinkles, or even red pepper flakes if you're feeling spicy!
04 -
Dump all your shredded cheese into that creamy sauce and stir until it’s perfectly melty and rich. If your sauce feels too thick, add a splash of beef broth and mix it in.
05 -
Pour in your beef broth and heavy cream, then gently stir it together. Let it simmer softly for about 3-4 minutes until you see it start to thicken.
06 -
Toss onions and peppers into the same pan where the meat cooked. Stir and let them get nice and tender for 5 to 7 minutes. Add your minced garlic last, cooking briefly—just 30 seconds or until you smell the garlic.
07 -
Heat up a big skillet with a dash of olive oil. Throw in your beef—sliced steak or ground. Cook it for about 3-5 minutes to brown, then remove the meat but keep that flavorful oil in the pan.
# Notes:
01 -
Any kind of steak works great here—ribeye, sirloin, or even leftovers!
02 -
Don't worry if the sauce looks runny; it thickens up as it cools.
