Ingredients
1 pound sirloin steak
10 ounces cheese-filled tortellini
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Cut sirloin steak into bite-sized cubes. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak in batches for 2–3 minutes per side. Set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add a little more butter if needed and sauté minced garlic for 30–45 seconds.
4. Lower heat to medium. Pour in heavy cream and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
5. Stir in grated Parmesan, crushed red pepper flakes, and more Italian seasoning. Simmer until sauce thickens.
6. Meanwhile, cook tortellini according to package instructions, drain, and add directly to the cream sauce.
7. Return steak and any juices to the skillet. Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through.
8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Use fresh or refrigerated tortellini for best flavor and texture.
Let the steak rest before adding it back into the skillet so it stays juicy.
Don’t rush the cream sauce—simmer gently for a smooth, velvety consistency.
