Ingredients
- For the Tortellini
- 20 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)
- For the Steak
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye)
- For the Seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Smoked paprika, to taste
- 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 cheese, shredded or freshly grated
- For Garnishing (Optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Red pepper flakes
- Cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Season the steak on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side until cooked to desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing.
- Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and whole milk, stirring gently. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add parmesan cheese and stir until fully melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add cooked tortellini to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
- Slice the rested steak and return it to the skillet. Gently mix and cook for 1–2 minutes.
- Garnish with parsley, red pepper flakes, and cracked black pepper if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, finish with a splash of pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
- Ribeye provides more richness, while sirloin keeps the dish lighter.
- Best served fresh but leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
