Ingredients
For the Tortellini:
- 20 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)
For the Steak:
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye)
For the Seasoning:
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Garlic powder
- Smoked paprika
For the Creamy Sauce:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1¼ cups parmesan cheese, shredded or freshly grated
- For Garnishing:
- Chopped parsley (optional)
- Cracked black pepper (optional)
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook cheese tortellini according to package instructions, about 3–5 minutes, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Sear for 3–5 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add heavy cream and whole milk to the skillet, stirring to combine. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Gradually whisk in the parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed.
6. Return the cooked steak and tortellini to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes to combine and heat through.
7. Garnish with chopped parsley, cracked black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently over low heat with a splash of milk to bring back the creaminess.
Sirloin offers a leaner option, while ribeye gives a more tender, rich bite.
