Description

This creamy garlic-steak tortellini is a comforting, indulgent dish featuring tender seared steak, cheese tortellini, and a rich garlic-Parmesan cream sauce—perfect for an elevated yet easy dinner.


Ingredients

  • 12 oz cheese tortellini
  • 8 oz flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, cracked
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
  2. Season the sliced flank steak with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté cracked garlic and chopped onion until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  5. Deglaze the pan with beef broth, scraping up the browned bits, and simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to medium, add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, and stir until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
  7. Return the tortellini and steak to the skillet and gently toss to coat in the sauce.
  8. Let cook for 2–3 more minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use freshly cracked garlic for the most flavor.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute mushrooms for the steak.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
  • Spinach can be added at the end for extra nutrients and color.
