Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb thinly sliced beef (shaved steak, sirloin, or ribeye)
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup beef broth (low-sodium)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 dash Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
- 12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 8 oz provolone cheese, shredded
- 1 handful shredded mozzarella or white American cheese (optional)
Instructions
- First things first, thinly slice the yellow onion and bell peppers. If using sirloin or ribeye, partially freeze for 20-30 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Place the thinly sliced beef at the bottom of a 6-quart (or larger) slow cooker. Scatter the sliced onions and bell peppers over the beef.
- Pour in the beef broth and sprinkle generously with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add Worcestershire sauce if using. Stir gently to combine.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.
- About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cubes of cream cheese and add the cheese tortellini (no need to thaw if frozen).
- Replace the lid and continue cooking for the last 30 minutes. After that, sprinkle the provolone cheese (and any optional mozzarella or white American cheese) over the top. Cover for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Once the cheese is melted, stir the dish to incorporate the melted provolone into the creamy sauce. It's ready to serve!
