Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 oz cheese tortellini
  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 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

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of the pasta water for later.
  2. Season the steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium in the same skillet, and add the butter. Once melted, throw in the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and whole milk, stirring well to combine. Let the mixture simmer gently for a few minutes until it starts to thicken.
  6. Gradually stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, followed by the sliced steak. Toss gently until everything is coated in the sauce and heated through.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk to loosen the sauce.
