This recipe is as simple as it is delicious. Follow these steps for a dish that’s sure to satisfy.

Step 1: Sear the Beef

Heat the skillet: Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin and sear until browned on all sides. This step locks in the beef’s juices and adds a delicious caramelized flavor to the dish.
Transfer to the slow cooker: Once browned, transfer the beef to your slow cooker.

Step 2: Add the Vegetables and Seasonings

Layer the flavors: Add the sliced green bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic on top of the beef in the slow cooker.
Pour in the liquids: Pour in the 4 cups of beef broth and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.
Season the dish: Sprinkle in the 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme. Stir everything together to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.

Step 3: Slow Cook to Perfection

Set and forget: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours. During this time, the beef will become tender, and the flavors will meld together beautifully.

Step 4: Add the Tortellini

Add the pasta: About 30 minutes before you’re ready to serve, stir in the refrigerated cheese tortellini. Make sure the tortellini are submerged in the liquid so they cook evenly.
Continue cooking: Allow the tortellini to cook until tender, usually around 30 minutes.

Step 5: Finish with Cheese and Cream

Incorporate the provolone: Once the tortellini are cooked, stir in the shredded provolone cheese and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
Let it thicken: Allow the sauce to thicken slightly for about 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Plate and serve: Ladle the cheesesteak tortellini into bowls and serve it hot. The creamy, cheesy sauce pairs perfectly with the tender beef and pasta, making each bite a delight.
