Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb sirloin steak (or ribeye/flank steak), about 1-inch thick
- 1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp for sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 lb fresh or frozen tortellini (cheese or meat filled)
- 6–8 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken or beef broth
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- 1. Prep & Sear Steak: Pat steak dry, season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak 2-4 minutes per side for desired doneness. Remove, rest on a cutting board.
- 2. Build Sauce: Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan. Sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in broth, deglaze pan by scraping up browned bits. Stir in heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low.
- 3. Cook Tortellini: In a separate pot, cook tortellini according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
- 4. Combine & Finish: Slice rested steak against the grain into thin strips. Add drained tortellini, sliced steak, Parmesan, parsley, and basil to the cream sauce. Toss gently to combine. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if sauce is too thick. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately.
