Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 package (10 ounces) cheese tortellini, fresh or frozen
- 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Season the steak pieces generously with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian seasoning.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the steak and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add butter and garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Add the Parmesan cheese and the remaining Italian seasoning. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened (about 3-5 minutes).
- Return the steak to the skillet, then add the cooked tortellini. Toss everything together until well-coated in the sauce.
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle with parsley for garnish.
- Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
