In the same skillet, add bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Cook until softened, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside with the beef.Make the Provolone Sauce
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly until thickened, 3–4 minutes. Add provolone and Parmesan, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.Combine and Serve

Notes
Swap beef sirloin with chicken for a lighter twist.
Add a splash of heavy cream for an even richer sauce.
Great with a side of garlic bread or fresh salad.
