Ingredients
  

Garlic steak tortellini ingredients
  • 1 lb sirloin steak
  • 20 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 5 tbsp butter divided
  • 5 clove garlic cloves minced
  • 0.5 cup beef broth
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 salt to taste
  • 1 cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Cook tortellini
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, then cook the refrigerated cheese tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Season and sear the steak
  1. Season the sirloin steak strips generously with salt and cracked black pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over high heat, then sear the steak strips for 2–3 minutes until browned, and set aside.
Make the garlic butter sauce
  1. In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the beef broth and heavy cream, then simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Toss and serve
  1. Return the steak and tortellini to the skillet, then add Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese. Toss until everything is coated, then serve topped with fresh parsley.

Notes

For the best sear, slice sirloin steak thin against the grain and pat it dry before seasoning. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of broth or cream to loosen the sauce; freezing is not recommended for creamy tortellini.
