Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb flank or sirloin steak

Pasta

  • 12 oz fresh or frozen cheese tortellini

Sauce

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Season the steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest before slicing thinly against the grain.
  2. Cook the Tortellini: While the steak rests, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet used for the steak, lower heat to medium and add a bit more olive oil if needed. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine with the garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it thicken slightly. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Combine Everything: Return the sliced steak to the pan along with the cooked tortellini. Toss everything carefully to coat the pasta and meat evenly in the creamy garlic sauce. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Rest the steak to keep it juicy and tender.
  • Do not overcook the tortellini; aim for al dente texture.
  • Use fresh garlic for best flavor.
  • Adjust creaminess by adding more cream or cheese if desired.
  • Slice steak thinly to blend well with pasta and sauce.
