Ingredients
Scale
- 20 oz cheese tortellini
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 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
- Parsley, chopped (optional)
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Cracked black pepper (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the tortellini: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the steak: Season the steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
- Sear the steak: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.
- Make the cream sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Combine dairy: Reduce heat to low, and slowly whisk in heavy cream and whole milk. Stir continuously until well combined and heated through.
- Add cheese: Gradually add the grated parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce turns creamy.
- Combine all ingredients: Slice the rested steak into bite-sized pieces. Add the cooked tortellini and sliced steak to the sauce, tossing gently to coat.
- Serve and garnish: Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the tortellini in the sauce to maintain their shape. Serve in shallow bowls for an elegant presentation.
