Garlic Steak Tortellini Ultimate Creamy (Printer-Friendly)
Tender sirloin and cheese tortellini in a rich, creamy garlic sauce for a hearty, satisfying meal.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Meats
01 - 14 oz sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
→ Pasta
02 - 14 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
→ Vegetables & Herbs
03 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
→ Dairy
05 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter
06 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
07 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
→ Pantry
08 - 2 tbsp olive oil
09 - Salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
# How To Make It:
01 - Season the steak pieces generously with salt and pepper.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and butter over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
04 - Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
05 - Meanwhile, cook the tortellini in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions; drain.
06 - Add cooked tortellini to the garlic cream sauce, tossing to coat evenly. Return steak pieces to the skillet and gently stir together. Cook for 1–2 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
- It combines the indulgence of a creamy sauce with the hearty satisfaction of seared beef.
- The entire meal comes together in one skillet in under thirty minutes.
02 -
- Do not crowd the pan when searing the steak or the meat will steam instead of brown.
- Remove the skillet from the heat briefly when adding the cream to prevent it from breaking.
03 -
- Let the steak rest for five minutes before searing if it is very cold to help it cook evenly.
- Grate your cheese fresh from the block for the smoothest melt.
