Ingredients

  • 1 package cheese tortellini (fresh, refrigerated, or frozen)
  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter (divided)
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced or smashed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak pieces until browned and cooked to desired doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Lower heat to medium. Add remaining oil or butter and garlic to the same skillet. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and scrape up any browned bits. Bring to a low simmer.
  5. Stir in Parmesan and red pepper flakes. Whisk until smooth and slightly thickened.
  6. Return cooked tortellini and steak to the skillet. Toss everything together until well coated and heated through.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use sirloin, ribeye, or filet for tender steak bites.
  • Add spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or mushrooms for extra flavor.
  • Swap in half-and-half for a lighter version of the sauce.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of cream or milk to keep the sauce creamy.
