Ingredients
Scale
- 20 oz cheese tortellini
- 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder
- 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 cheese, shredded or grated
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Cracked black pepper (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Pat 1 lb steak dry. Season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. While steak rests, mince 5 cloves garlic and prepare remaining sauce ingredients.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear steak for 3-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Remove steak, let rest for 10 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain.
- In the same skillet, melt 4 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 5 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in 1 cup heavy cream and 3/4 cup whole milk, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in 1 1/4 cups shredded Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Meanwhile, cook 20 oz cheese tortellini according to package directions in heavily salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
- Add drained tortellini to the sauce and toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water.
- Gently fold the sliced steak into the tortellini and sauce mixture. Warm through for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with optional fresh parsley and cracked black pepper.
