Description
A delightful dish combining rich garlic flavors, tender steak, and cheesy tortellini in a savory sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces of fresh cheese tortellini
- 1 pound of sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by boiling a large pot of salted water over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add the fresh cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, until they float to the top. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water for later.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the cut steak pieces and season with salt and pepper. Sear the steak for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Once done, remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Pour in the heavy cream and allow it to simmer for a couple of minutes. Slowly stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
- Gently fold in the cooked tortellini and steak into the creamy garlic sauce, ensuring everything is well coated. Heat through for another minute or so, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Finally, sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for a pop of color and added freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful flavors!
Notes
Great with garlic bread or a fresh salad. Can also be made ahead of time and reheated.
