Ingredients

Scale

1 tbsp neutral oil (sunflower, canola, or vegetable)

1 lb thinly shaved beef steak

1 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp kosher salt (adjust if using Morton’s)

½ tsp ground black pepper

1 cup chicken stock

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

½ cup milk

8 oz provolone cheese, torn

4 oz American or Cooper cheese, cut into pieces (or use all provolone)

1 lb cheese tortellini, cooked al dente

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preheat an empty stainless-steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high for 5 minutes. Swirl in the oil to coat.
Roughly chop the shaved beef into bite-sized pieces.
Add the beef and diced onion to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let it cook without stirring for 4–6 minutes until the bottom develops a deep, golden-brown sear.
Continue cooking for another 2–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is fully browned with no pink remaining.
Add the garlic and sauté while stirring for 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken stock and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a boil, making sure to scrape up all the flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Pour in the milk and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the beef. Stir continually until the cheese has melted into a smooth, creamy sauce.
Gently fold in the cooked tortellini. Remove from heat, cover, and let rest for 3 minutes.
Uncover and gently stir again. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Chop store-bought shaved steak into smaller pieces before cooking. If using whole steak, freeze briefly for easier slicing. You can substitute American or Cooper cheese with more provolone. Adjust salt if using salted cheese.
