Instructions:
Step 1: Cook the Tortellini
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 2-4 minutes for fresh tortellini or 5-7 minutes for frozen. Drain and set aside.
- Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil to prevent sticking and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesesteak Filling
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the thinly sliced beef, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the onions (and bell peppers, if using). Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and caramelized. Add the cooked beef back to the skillet and toss to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
