Instructions

Cook tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced steak and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté onions and peppers until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Remove and set aside with steak.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in milk and heavy cream. Cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and stir in provolone cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add cooked tortellini, steak, and vegetables to the sauce. Toss to coat evenly and heat through.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Use a mix of provolone and mozzarella for extra meltiness.
Substitute chicken or mushrooms for the steak for variety.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
Adjust sauce thickness by adding more milk or cheese as needed.
