Ingredients

Scale

For the Tortellini:

  • 20 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated varieties yield the best texture and taste)

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
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/4 cups parmesan, shredded or freshly grated

For Garnishing:

  • parsley, chopped (optional)
  • red pepper flakes (optional)
  • cracked black pepper (optional)

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions, about 3-5 minutes, until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Season steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Sear for about 3-5 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Add heavy cream and whole milk, stirring to combine. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

5. Gradually whisk in parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Season if desired.

6. Return seared steak and tortellini to the skillet and toss to combine for about 2 minutes.

7. Sprinkle with 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 over low heat with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
