Step 1: Cook the Tortellini
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to the package directions. Once tender, drain and set aside. If you’re not ready to use them immediately, drizzle them with a touch of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Sear the Steak
While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak in a single layer. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and black pepper. Sear for 3–5 minutes, flipping occasionally until the meat is browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Veggies
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the sliced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes, or until the veggies are soft and slightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic, paprika, and any remaining Cajun seasoning. Cook for one more minute, just until everything smells amazing.

Step 4: Make the Cheese Sauce
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and let it cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking until smooth. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded provolone and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt to taste and stir until everything melts into a silky sauce.

Step 5: Bring It All Together
Return the cooked steak and tortellini to the skillet with the peppers and onions. Pour the creamy provolone sauce over everything and toss to coat evenly. Let the skillet sit over low heat for 2–3 minutes so everything gets hot and the flavors combine beautifully.

Step 6: Serve and Garnish
Scoop generous portions onto plates or into bowls and top with chopped green onions for a little pop of freshness and color. Serve warm and enjoy every creamy, cheesy, steak-filled bite.
