Can I use ground beef instead of sliced steak?

Yes, you can. While sliced steak provides a more authentic cheesesteak texture, ground beef is a common, delicious alternative. Brown 1 pound of ground beef, drain the fat, and proceed with the recipe steps for searing the steak.

What’s the best way to get thinly sliced steak?

The absolute best way is to ask your butcher to thinly slice the beef for you. If you are doing it at home, place the beef in the freezer for about 30 minutes until it is firm but not fully frozen. This makes slicing against the grain much easier and safer.

Can I make this gluten-free?

To make this recipe gluten-free, you will need to make two simple substitutions: use a gluten-free tortellini pasta and substitute the 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour in the sauce with an equal amount of a gluten-free flour blend or cornstarch slurry.

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and peppers and sauté until tender and lightly caramelized (8-10 minutes). Remove and set aside.

2. Increase heat to medium-high. Add sliced beef and sear quickly until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Remove and set aside.

3. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, then whisk in flour to make a roux. Cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Bring to a low simmer to thicken.

4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of provolone and the chopped American cheese until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy.

5. Cook tortellini until al dente. Gently fold the tortellini, beef, and vegetables into the cheese sauce. Transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish, top with remaining provolone, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until bubbly.

Notes

Use fresh, refrigerated tortellini for the best texture.

You can use shredded or sliced chicken breast for a “Chicken Cheesesteak Tortellini” variation.

To prepare ahead, cook the beef, vegetables, and sauce, then store separately until ready to mix and bake.
