This comforting meal balances the hearty flavors of perfectly seasoned steak with a velvety parmesan cream base, enhanced by aromatic garlic and a hint of spice.

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, shredded or freshly grated

For Garnishing (Optional)

  • Parsley, chopped
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions, approximately 3 to 5 minutes until al dente. Drain thoroughly using a colander and set aside.
  2. Season and Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Place the steak in the skillet and sear for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside to rest.
  3. Prepare the Garlic Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and aromatic, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Create the Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and whole milk, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  5. Incorporate the Cheese: Gradually whisk in the shredded parmesan cheese until it melts smoothly into the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Combine the Ingredients: Slice or cut the seared steak into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet along with the cooked tortellini. Toss everything together gently to coat the tortellini and steak in the creamy garlic sauce, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to meld flavors.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley, cracked black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired for a spicy kick. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh or refrigerated tortellini for the best texture; frozen tortellini can be used but may alter cooking time.
  • Adjust the seasoning on the steak to your preference, adding more or less garlic powder and smoked paprika as desired.
  • For a lighter sauce, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • Leftover steak can be used if available; just slice and add during the final step.
  • To add vegetables, consider sautéing mushrooms or spinach before making the cream sauce.
  • Parsley and red pepper flakes add freshness and mild heat but can be omitted for a milder dish.
