Description
This Steak and Tortellini Dinner is a rich and satisfying meal that pairs juicy, perfectly seared steak with cheesy tortellini tossed in a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce. It’s an elegant yet easy weeknight dinner that tastes like a restaurant favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 (9 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook tortellini according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Season steak bites with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak pieces and sear 2–3 minutes per side until browned to desired doneness. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in beef broth and heavy cream, stirring to deglaze the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add cooked tortellini and toss to coat in the sauce.
- Return steak bites to the skillet and mix gently until heated through.
- Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use any cut of tender steak — sirloin, ribeye, or filet work beautifully.
- Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra color and flavor.
- For a lighter sauce, substitute half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
- Pairs well with garlic bread and a crisp green salad.
