Equipment

  • large pot for boiling tortellini
  • skillet for searing steak and making sauce
  • knife for slicing steak
  • cutting board
  • mixing spoon or spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4–5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme or fresh sprigs
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • optional: sliced mushrooms, baby spinach, caramelized onions

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  • Pat steak dry and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak 3–5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from pan, let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  • Melt butter in the skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in cream, stir, then add Parmesan, thyme, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir until thickened, 3–5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add cooked tortellini to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Fold in sliced steak and gently mix. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Steak substitutions: Use chicken, tofu, or tempeh for a lighter version. Cream alternatives: Half-and-half or milk mixed with Greek yogurt reduces calories. Cheese options: Pecorino Romano or Asiago can replace Parmesan. Adjust garlic intensity according to taste.
